ble from your operating point. Example, on a sailboat, use the backstay
as the antenna, since it is the farthest point away from the rest of the
vessel.
3. The antenna coupler must be installed at the base of the antenna.
4. Always create your own ground with radial wire or copper straps.
They are the only ones that will guarantee a solid and proper ground
system.
5. All cables - power supply, control or coaxial - must always be as
short as possible and/or necessary. Any excess cable should be short-
ened to the proper length - never coiled.
Following these rules will minimize marginal installations and problem
sources such as RF feedback in the radio, power supply or cables and
"hot" or RF burning microphones. If all 5 above points are followed
during the design and installation of your HF system, the operator can
expect top performance. Further information regarding applications,
installation and operation can be downloaded from our website www.
