When both half-elements are ready, prepare the center plate and assemble all the parts as in the
photo. The two half-dipoles lower ends must protrude from the insulator of 2.5 cm (1inch).
Connect a 1:1 balun to the dipole center (recommended) with two wire jumpers no longer than 8-10
cm (the length affects the resonance of all bands), if you decide not to use the balun, connect
terminals of the coaxial opening it as a V directly to the two bolts. Even in this case to make sure
that the two terminals of the coax does not exceed 10cm. If too long, the antenna will resonate
slightly lower. Seal the coax with good quality sealing glues.
The balun, improves antenna operation, preventing RF currents on the shield of the coaxial cable
that could cause TVI phenomena or other RF interference.
When assembled the antenna must have a 'look like the one pictured.
After completing the tune-up, check the tightness of all nuts.
If the V dipole is installed above a HF yagi, it is preferable that it is installed parallel to the yagi
boom and at a vertical distance of at least 1,5-2m.
If installed alone it is preferable that at least 5m from the ground / roof / floor.
In particular/special conditions, the antenna can also be installed as in the photo below.
