Portable Antenna Stand

Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing the MFJ-1919 Portable Antenna Stand. The MFJ-1919 is perfect for
camping trips dxpeditions, hiking, etc. It is great for mounting loop antennas, VHF/UHF vertical
antennas, or any other type of portable antenna. The MFJ-1919 extends up to 6 feet and will hold a
maximum of 66 lbs. The MFJ-1919 collapses to a compact size for easy storage. With the legs spread
at the maximum distance, the MFJ-1919 base covers 693 square inches for a more stable support.

Please read this instruction manual completely and thoroughly before using the MFJ-1919.

Instructions:

•First loosen the leg thumbscrew.

•Slightly separate the legs to the desired spread and tighten the leg thumbscrew.

•Install the desired mount onto the top of the 1-inch mast.

•Install your antenna onto the mount or install your antenna onto the top of the 1-inch mast with U-

bolts.

•Loosen the mast thumbscrew and raise the mast to the desired height.

•Place the holding pin through the hole in the mast at the desired height.

•Screw the mast thumbscrew tight.

Notes:

•For light antennas, you can also get a few extra inches of height by extending the mast to the

maximum length and tightening the mast thumbscrew. The holding pin does not necessarily have to
rest on the compression clamp. However, for heavier antennas, it is suggested that the holding pin rest
on top of the compression clamp for added support.

Warning:

•The MFJ-1919 is suited for temporary outdoor use. Do not leave the tripod outdoors for extended

periods of time.
