BEFORE ASSEMBLY

GETTING STARTED BY GETTING ORGANIZED - Organize the tubing into groups, first by tube OD (Outside Diame-

ter) and then by length and check all against the parts list to make sure it’s all there. Notify us immediately if you are
missing anything.

Tools - You will need the usual assortment of small hand tools to assemble this antenna as well as quality black electri­cal tape. We recommend the use of a mixture of WD-40 and lock graphite, or similar compound, to lubricate each and
every tubing joint and screw hole during assembly, the end of each element being placed into the boom and the boom
splice couplers.

Read - Read these instructions several times before starting the actual assembly process & until the process becomes
clear. Refer to FIGS. 1, 2 & 3 as you read to develop the understanding of how the antenna is constructed.

Left and Right - Left and Right, as used in these instruction, are arbitrarily assigned.. Assembled in the mirror image,
the result is just as good. BUT, following the directions as stated will keep you organized and once started MUST be
followed.

Assembly Phases - The antenna will be assembled in 5 phases:

Phase Description After which you will have

1 Boom Section Preparation 10 prepared Boom Sections 6 feet long (5 identical pairs)
with the first tube of the elements attached.

2 Boom Section Splicing After which you will have 2 identical sub-booms 24 feet long

3 Boom Completion Spacers attached and booms secured atop each other

4 Element Build Out Completed antenna with elements attached

5 Attachments and Feedline Installation of BMI, shorting stub, balun,
antenna ready to go in the air

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

This antenna has two sub-booms, one will be placed atop the other to form one structural boom with two separate elec­trical paths. These sub-booms are machined so that the elements pass directly through them. There are intentionally
tight tolerances here, typically 1 or 2 thousandths of an inch, DO NOT FILE OUT THE HOLES MACHINED IN THE BOOMS.
Rather, if you must, use a fine emery cloth applied to the element itself.

Lubrication and Protection - Repeating here: We recommend the use of a mixture of WD-40 and lock graphite, or similar
compound such as Penetrox A, to lubricate each and every tubing joint and screw hole during assembly, the end of
each element being placed into the boom and the boom splices.

SALT AIR ENVIRONMENT? You need to seal each tubing joint with minimal amounts of tape, heat-shrink or similar seal-

ant. Note: Use absolutely no more of these materials than is needed. Excess on the outside of the tubes can cause an
unwanted shift in the velocity of propagation along the tube. Completely cover the protruding stainless steel boom hard­ware with a sealant to avoid corrosion and resultant galvanic action that can cause electrical noise.

5

ASSEMBLY PHASE 1 - Boom Section Preparation (Steps 1—10)

The following steps are doubles.. Do each one twice - and in exactly the same way. Place the BOOM SECTIONS (BS?)
so that the BS 1, 2 or 3 marker label marked on the tube is facing up and to your LEFT. These will be done in sequence,
from the BS 1s through BS 3s, two pair at a time. The distances noted in the INTO WHAT column are from the end of the
BS tube marked with marker label BS?. Now, with the Boom Section (BS) running across in front of you, the RIGHT &
LEFT used in the INTO WHAT column are as viewed looking down the BS from the LEFT end of the BS. The object is

to alternate the sides of the BS that the elements protrude from.

Caution: Here is where you need to be precise and follow the directions exactly.

Also Note: Always insert the end of a tube where there is an identifying mark
machined above the hole. This machined mark must go into the Boom Section (BS)

STEP WHAT GOES INTO WHAT FASTEN WITH

1 1.000” x 23.1” tube BS 1 to the RIGHT at 2.0” ¼-20 x 2” machine screws & nuts
Do not run these ¼” nuts down tight, you will need to remove them later. See FIG. 4 for correct
Machine screw installation. All following hardware installation is to be installed tightly.

10 .500” x 17.1” tube BS 4 to the LEFT at 71.0” 10-24 x 1.5” machine screws & nuts ## See Below

RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT FOR EACH BOOM SECTION
AND RESULTING BOOM! EXACTLY THE SAME FOR BOTH BOOMS!

## BEFORE STEP 10: Get the Choke Plate which is a 6” length of flat PVC with one hole drilled

through it. Insert the end with the hole into Boom Section 4 and underneath where the .500” x

17.1” tube will be inserted. Then take the 10-24 x 1.5” bolt and insert it through Boom Section 4
AND through the Choke Plate up through the .500” tube and then out the other side of Boom
Section 4. Tighten down with nut provided. The picture to the right is provided to clarify the in­stallation of the Choke Plate.

This is to be ONLY installed on ONE Boom Section 4. It doesn’t matter which.

Element Placement on the Booms

T12 Shown - All antennas including

the T8 are assembled in this
manner.

Notice how the elements alternate
between the top and bottom booms.

T6 Shown - This is an example of

a WRONG install.

Look carefully - ALL the elements
are lined up on the bottom boom.
See the difference between the two
examples? The correct install has
elements alternating—top/bottom/
top/bottom, etc. like the top picture.
Your SWR will be whacko if your
antenna looks like this! ☺

T6

ASSEMBLY PHASE 2— Boom section splicing (Steps 11—14)

Position the BS with the number marked thereon to the left and with the number facing upward. Again, do each of
these steps twice. Proceed with steps 10 through 14 using supplied Allen Wrench.

STEP WHAT GOES INTO WHAT FASTEN WITH
11 8” splice insert BS 1 inside the right end 10-24 x ½” Socket HD Cap Screws & nuts

Position the ½” Socket HD Cap Screws on the tip of supplied Allen Wrench and insert it upward through
the larger hole (1/2” or 3/8”) in the bottom of the boom, continuing upward with it through the smaller
hole in the top of the boom until the Socket HD Cap Screw protrudes upward, and outside of the boom.
Secure it here with the 10-24 nyloc nuts.

12 8” splice insert BS 2 inside the right end 10-24 x ½” Socket HD Cap Screws & nuts
13 8” splice insert BS 3 inside the right end 10-24 x ½” Socket HD Cap Screws & nuts
14 Join the Boom Sections together at the splices, BS 1 to BS 2, Etc.10-24 x ½” Socket HD Cap Screws & nuts

You should now have two separate, but identical, 24 foot booms together. Turn one of these booms upside down so
that the numbers marked on its four Boom Sections all face down. Cover the boom holes with a good quality elec­trical tape at this time. Just the boom holes, the ones where you’ve inserted the machine screws that hold the elements
in place.

7

ASSEMBLY PHASE 3—Boom completion (steps1 5—21)

These next steps are singles; do them ONLY to the boom you have just turned upside down. Install the spacers onto this

boom with the spacers pointing up.

STEP WHAT GOES INTO WHAT FASTEN WITH

15 Large flat spacer BS 1 at A near El #1 10-24 x 2.5” machine screws & nuts
16 Flat Spacers BS 1 at B 10-24 x 2.5” machine screw & nut
17 Large flat spacers BS 2 at A 10-24 x 2.5” machine screws & nuts
18 Flat Spacers BS 2 at B 10-24 x 2.5” machine screw & nut
19 Flat Spacers BS 3 at B Two places 10-24 x 2.5” machine screw & nut
20 Flat spacers BS 4 at B Two places 10-24 x 2.5” machine screw & nut

Place the remaining completed boom, numbers facing up, atop the boom with the spacers installed. Slide the top boom
down between the flat spacers using the same type fasteners as were used in Steps 1-20 above. (Flexing of the booms a
bit may be necessary here.) Nothing should be between these booms except air! The element halves should point in

opposite directions, i.e., half of #1 to the right with the other half of the same element to the left from the other
boom. The next element #2 halves must also alternate booms and be on the opposite boom sides as compared to ele-

ment #1.
Double Check - All other elements alternate booms and sides like elements #1 and #2. See FIG. 3. and photos. In other
words, as you go down the boom, the elements from the top boom must alternate RIGHT – LEFT – RIGHT – LEFT, Etc.

AND the lower boom elements must go in the opposite alternate directions.

Stop all assembly and check what you’ve done against FIG. 3.

This is where the most common assembly error occurs.

8

ASSEMBLY PHASE 4—Element Build out (Steps 22– 33)

THE ELEMENTS: Start with the smallest element, #10, at the front of the antenna. These are double steps, do one step
for each side of the antenna. See FIG. 1.

ASSEMBLY PHASE 5—Install shorting stub, BMI, & balun (Steps 47—49)

Before Proceeding - STOP AND COMPARE. DOES IT LOOK LIKE THE PHOTOS AND DRAWINGS ?

Step 47 - SHORTING STUB

Remove the nuts from the ¼-20 machine screws holding Element #1 in place, slip the shorting stub onto these and re­place the nuts while positioning the stub per the photos. Reach into the element tube with long-nosed
pliers to hold the machine screws in place for tightening during this step.

The Collins Balun. This uses approximately 12 ft of ONLY RG-8 or RG-213 coaxial cable. For best results, the turns
are side-by-side, not bunched (See photo). Form a coil of 4 side-by-side turns of coax say, going from left to right. We
use a 3” light wall PVC pipe for a coil form. Secure (tape/tie-wrap) these first 4 turns in place and once you’ve done this,
go on top of the first 4 turns with another 4 turns, these will go from right to left. This causes both ends of the coil to be
on the same side. Allow only 2-5” of cable from the coil to the antenna feed point. If you construct your own, don’t use
so much tape that water cannot drain from the coil.

Step 48 - Install the Collins Balun (CHOKE) at the front of the Antenna, by the smallest element, in front of the antenna
and on the already installed Choke Plate using the supplied Hose Clamp. Wrap the Hose Clamp over and through the
inside of the CHOKE and then down and around the Choke Plate. Tighten the Hose Clamp firmly. Now electrically con­nect the Choke to the Boom Sections (feed points). Take the Center Conductor and install it on the top boom. Take the
Braid and install it on the bottom boom. Secure both the Center Conductor and Braid to the Boom Sections using the
supplied 10-24 x ½” machine screws & nuts. See Figure 7.

Step 49 - Mount the Boom-Mast Insulator on the booms, at the point labeled C, using 3/8” bolts, washers and nuts and
reinforcement Washers (thick washers). See FIG. 5 & 6. The parts sequence is: Head of bolt - washer – Boom-Mast­Insulator – Booms – Reinforcement Washers (thick washers) – Nuts 3/8-16 x 3.5” Bolts, Etc.

Step 50 - Mount the antenna to your mast. See FIG. 8. See CAUTION above.

SLIPP-NOTT Clamps (two half shells), 3/8-16 bolts, nuts & washers. Note: If your mast is of such a size that you need a
longer bolt for your SLIPP-NOTT Clamps, please give us a call and we will send them to you. The parts sequence is:
Head of bolt – Washer- Slipp-Nott Clamp (half shell) – Mast- BMI – Washer – Nuts (review picture).

CAUTION – In the following steps, make sure that the threads are clean and well lubricated.
