ASSEMBLY
9.
Stretch the 80 meter (larger) coil on the coil assembly 80/40 meter (C) until the
bottom of the lower clamp is even with the lower mark. Secure with a #10 flat
washer, lock washer and wing nut.
10.
Locate the capacitor assembly 80/40 meter (D) and install capacitor bracket 80
meter (D1) on the larger 200 pF capacitor using the installed screw.
NOTE: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE OR OVER TIGHTEN THE
SCREWS ON EITHER CAPACITOR AS YOU WILL DAMAGE THEM. DO
NOT DROP THIS ASSEMBLY AS YOU MAY FRACTURE THE
CAPACITOR’S CERAMIC SHELL.
11. Locate capacitor bracket 40 meter (D2) and install on the smaller 67 pF capacitor
as above.
12. Install the above assembly onto the #10 screw protruding from the tab of the
center clamp on the coil assembly 80/40 meter (C). Align capacitor bracket 80
meter (D1) alongside the larger 80 meter coil of coil assembly 80/40 meter (C).
Secure with a #10 flat washer, lock washer and hex nut.
13.
Attach the tab end of capacitor bracket 80 meter (D1) to tube (B) with capacitor
bracket clamp and secure with # 8 x 1" screw, lock washer and a hex nut.
14.
Attach the tab end of capacitor bracket 40 meter (D2) to tube (B1) as above.
15.
Insert the un-slotted end of tube (E) into tube (B1) and secure with a # 8 x 1 1/2"
screw, lock washer and hex nut.
16. Locate coil support tube 30 meter (O) and measure to a point 9 7/8 in (25.1 cm)
down from the plastic insulator. Mark this point with a pencil.
17. Locate coil support tube 30 meter L bracket (O1) and place the tabbed end inside
of the coil support tube 30 meter (O) securing it with a # 8 x 3/4" screw, lock
washer and hex nut.
18. Place a #10 washer, lock washer and wing nut on the lower single clamp of
coil/capacitor assembly 30 meter (P).
19.
Place a #10 washer, lock washer and hex nut on both upper clamps of
coil/capacitor assembly 30 meter (P).
20.
Pass the lower single clamp of coil/capacitor assembly 30 meter (P) over the
insulator end of coil support tube 30 meter (O) and slide the coil downward along
the tube until the upper edge of the upper clamp is flush with the end of the
insulator. Align the upper clamp with the coil support tube 30 meter L bracket
(O1) and tighten the hex nut.
