the RG-62.
❒
19. Thread the RG-62 and its two wires through the base of the
‘T’ and the two wires should come out opposite ends of the ‘T’.
❒
20. Again make sure that the wires aren’t shorted together
inside the pipe. Use an ohmmeter or continuity checker for this.
❒
21. Now we want to slide the ‘T’ onto the 2 1/2” piece of pipe
that is attached to the ‘X’. This may be a little tricky since the
RG-62 coax is longer than the pipe. You may have to stuff
some rags into the pipe to hold the wire where you want it so it
doesn’t shove the dipoles down the central pipe. You can also
fold the wire inside of the pipe if you have nimble fingers. DO
NOT GLUE YET!
❒
22. Straighten out your dipoles and slide the 23 1/2” pipe
assemblies over each of the four dipoles. The straighter you
make the dipoles inside these pipes, the better. Orient the
dipoles so that they cross one another (see page 6).
❒
23. You can glue each of these dipole ‘arms’ into their
respective pipe joints.
❒
Things should look pretty good at this point. We are almost
finished. Check the diagram on page 6. Compare your antenna
with the one in the diagram for any mistakes.
❒
24. Now you can pull the rag and the LNA down to the base of
the 1 1/2” pipe.
❒
25. At this point, if you’re sure that your LNA works, you can
find a way of securely mounting it at the end of the pipe. You
can use a screw through a hole drilled in the pipe to pin the
board within the pipe, or glue it into place using silicon sealant,
or rely on the connector hardware to do the job.
❒
26. Use the 1 1/2” endcap with the hole drilled in it. Guide the
LNA’s jack through the hole. Use mounting hardware to secure
the jack to the pipe. Press fit the endcap on.
