Stranded Wire Element Preparation

CAUTION: Working with stranded antenna wire certain precautions are required. First to

prevent wire strands from unraveling when cutting to proper lengths it is important to flow

solder about ½" either side of the cut point. Be careful as the wires may be very hot after

soldering.

The second caution comes when un-spooling the wire to the necessary lengths. It is

recommended that the wire be "unrolled" from the roll and not "stripped", as this will accentuate

the spiral wrap tendency leading to wire kinks. Always be on the watch for wire kinks forming

and take appropriate action to prevent them. If one should occur, it may be recoverable by

carefully straightening it while smoothing.

Wire Element Support - "Wire Wrap"

After feeding the element wire through the spreader arm holes, and checking for arm

alignment, the "wire wrap" should be applied. This following procedure will assure minimum

flexing of the element wire at the arm attachment point and to maintain element/spreader arm

alignment we recommend securing all 20 meter and 17 meter element arm attachment points

in the following manner. Generally speaking 15, 12 or 10 meter elements will not need this

treatment. Sufficient "Wire Wrap" wire has been provided for this procedure - follow the

diagram below.
