CONSTRUCTION:
[ ] Begin by laying the boom on a flat surface. Find the driven-element holes and the
two sets of mast-mount holes (one for vertical and one for horizontal mounting).
The mast-mount holes are toward the reflector end of the antenna. Identify the
director and reflector ends of the boom before starting assembly.
[ ] Find two (2) 54" director element sections and identify the tapped end of each. Insert
the tapped ends into the 1/4" holes drilled at the director end of the boom. Secure
each in place with 10-32 screws. If you do not anticipate disassembling your beam,
apply a drop of Locktite to each screw. Grip the element section gently with pliers
when tightening.
