Unfurl the broadband antenna from the winding bobbin supplied.
Push the earth stake into the ground. Clip the short wire from the balun box, with
the coaxial connector on it, to the earth stake using the crocodile clip supplied.
Hang the wire section of the antenna in any configuration convenient as indicated in
the diagrams below. Note the higher from the ground the more efficient the
antenna will be.
