Place the boom-to-mast clamp on the boom as
shown in Figure 5. Use the 1/4"-20 x 3/4" bolts
in the outside holes. Leave the inside holes for
the two U-bolts, which will be used later for
mounting the mast. Select either the vertical or
horizontal mounting position. Adjust the boom
accordingly before tightening the bolts securely.
Select the 3/16" x 39 5/8" R1 tube (Item No. 6),
use pencil to place a mark at the center of the
rod (19 13/16" from either end) and place two
more marks 5/8" from each side of the center
mark.
Place a #10-24 x 11/2" eyebolt (Item No. 18)
into the R1 slot as shown in Figure 5, Detail A.
Slide the R1 through the holes and the eyebolt
until the outer two marks on the Rl are visible
on each side of the boom. Slip on an aluminum
half washer, a lockwasher and a #10 nut (Item
Nos. 27, 25, and 22). Tighten it just enough to
hold the rod securely. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
Select the element-to-boom insulator (Item No.
11), two sections of the Driven Element (7/16"
x 17 1/4") tubing (Item No. 2) and beta rod
(Item No. 3).
