With the aid of the U bolts, install the base on the supporting pole and install the solid radials.
The U bolt is 50mm wide, it can get poles or tubes from 40 to 50mm.
If radials rows being installed, take care doing the work as they can also heavily influence the final
tuning. You may have to try to attempt the best point of risonance.
If you have chosen the version with solid radials, they must be installed on the two bolts that are
located under the base plate, taking care to follow the order for bandwidth, in order from highest to
lowest or vice versa. Each radial has an adjustable tip that allows small frequency change for each
band.
When assembled antenna will looks like the one in the pictures .
Antenna with solid radials can be installed at any height. Version with wire radials will have
greater performance if installed 10-20cm over the ground with radial on the soil or roof.
Before to rise up antenna in the sky, make sure that all bolts and connections are well tightned.
Do not use guy wires, do not seal traps and tubes joints.
