NOTES:
The Dacron rope will come in one continuous piece. Loop one end of the piece through the truss attachment plate eye-bolt as
shown in Figure XX. Tie 3 half hitch knots. Figure XX shows how to make a single half hitch. To make multiple half hitches,
simply repeat. Leave about 2” of dacron rope leader after the third half hitch knot. Tape the leader to the rope as shown in fig-
ure XX and melt the ends to avoid fraying.
Pull the Dacron rope tightly towards the truss attachment post and loop the rope around the post one full wrap as shown in fig-
ure XX, keeping tension on the rope. The rope must be between the stainless steel washer and the aluminum spacer, as shown
in figure XX.
Keeping tension on the rope, pull the rope to the quick links that you have already installed on the antenna switch mounting
plate. Insert through the link, pulling tight and tie 3 half hitch knots. Leaving approximately 2” of leader, cut the Dacron rope.
You will use the remaining rope for the other half of the support line. Following the same steps.
On each end of the dipole conductor support line, tighten the tensioning eyebolts so that the support line is tight enough to sup-
port the blue Ultra-flex dipole conductor wire.
Attach the lug of the blue Ultraflex wire to the brass EHU studs. pull the Ultra-flex wire to the dacron support line, leaving
enough play to that it does not pull on the lug. Tape with electrical tape. Wrap the Ultra-flex 3 times per foot, as shown in fig-
ure XX. Be sure to leave 4” of space between wraps when you pass the truss supports, taping each side of the space as shown
in figure XX. Continue wrapping until you reach the antenna switch. Tape the Ultraflex to the support line where the leader
ends. You will need to trim the Ultraflex for connection to the antenna switch.
Repeat for other side of dipole.
