Making sure dirt or grass
does not adhere to the
sections to be joined, insert
the marked end of an element
tube into the next sized
element tube until the 4 inch
mark on the element tube is
even with the top of the
larger element tube section.
Position one of the element
clamps at the very end, but
not hanging over the edge.
Make sure the body of the
element clamp is positioned
between the slits and tighten
securely. Repeat the
procedure with the marked
end of the elements and the
other element tubes using one
of the element clamps as you
work your way up the
antenna length. Continue
mating the smaller tubes
inside the larger ones.
Double-check the vertical
sections you have just
assembled. A black vinyl cap
is included for the top of the antenna. Figure 9
Note: Refer to the DXE-MBVE-5A60MCK if you are installing the 60 Meter Conversion Kit - the
upper element and black cap are replaced with parts included in the conversion kit.
