WARNING!
INSTALLATION OF ANY ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS
Warning: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take
extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or
death.
Overhead Power Line Safety
Before you begin working, check carefully for overhead power lines in the area you will be
working. Don't assume that wires are telephone or cable lines: check with your electric utility for
advice. Although overhead power lines may appear to be insulated, often these coverings are
intended only to protect metal wires from weather conditions and may not protect you from electric
shock. Keep your distance! Remember the 10-foot rule: When carrying and using ladders and other
long tools, keep them at least 10 feet away from all overhead lines - including any lines from the
power pole to your home.
Suggested Parts
DXE-RADP-3 - Radial Plate, Stainless Steel with 20 Sets of SS Radial Attachment Hardware
The patented DX Engineering Radial Plate is meant for those of you that have or are
building a quarter wave vertical antenna and who want an easy, neat and effective
way to connect those essential radial wires and the coax to your vertical antenna for
the lowest takeoff angle and strongest signals. DX Engineering Radial Plate is laser
cut from tough stainless steel so that it has smooth edges, won’t corrode and will

will work perfectly with most commercially available vertical antennas.
DXE-SSVC-2P - Stainless Steel V-Clamp for steel pipe, 2 inch V-bolt
This V-Clamp is made in one size that fits Steel tubing or pipe from 1" to 2'' OD as used in antenna
construction. The supplied V-bolt is long enough to attach tubing to thick plates and is
made with anti-corrosive properties. The special Stainless Steel saddle has serrated teeth
will clamp to the pipe securely by biting into the surface. For this reason, it is not
recommended for softer aluminum tubing or pipe. Ideal for fastening a radial plate and
antenna mounting to a steel pipe.
Used to clamp 1 to 2'' (OD) steel tubing or pipe
Designed for attachments that don't require resistance to torque
V-bolt and saddle made from high-strength 18-8* stainless steel
*The use of an anti-seize compound is HIGHLY recommended to
achieve proper torque and prevent galling.
