ページを印刷するA)Locate the two short standoffs on the Main Section. Slide the 51" Top tuner rod thru these
standoffs so the screw holes are towards the GAP. Loosen and adjust the standoffs so the
tuner rod is parallel to the mast, now tighten the clamps.
B) Locate the drill hole 10" from the end of this tuner rod. Position this hole between the two
standoffs and insert a screw and tighten. This is a stop screw
C) Slide the tuner rod toward the GAP. Locate a black jumper. Remove the screw holding
the lower GAP lead, see fig. 3. Place the black jumper under the screw with the GAP lead,
reinsert and tighten.
D) Attach the other end of the jumper to the hole at the end of the Top tuner rod with a
screw and tighten.
E) Locate the four standoffs on the Mid section just below the GAP. Loosen their clamp.
Form these four into a cross, perpendicular and immediately below the GAP. Tighten the
clamp securely.
F) Locate the four standoff assembly at the top of the Lower Section. Form these four
into a cross perpendicular to the mast. Tighten the clamp lightly. Now locate the longest
standoff on the upper cross assembly. Rotate the lower cross assembly until it's longest
standoff is in line with the one on the upper unit. Tighten the clamp.
G) Take the four 102" Mid tuner rods and insert a screw in the hole 10" from the end of
each rod and tighten. This a stop screw.
H) Slide a 102" rod thru each standoff in the top cross, starting with the end opposite the
screw just inserted and then into the bottom standoffs. Each rod should be parallel to the
Main mast. You may have to adjust the lower cross unit to achieve parallel rods. Each rod
should stop at the stop screw.
I) There are four yellow transition wires at the GAP, one longer than the other three. Attach
one to each Mid tuner rod with a screw and tighten. The longest wire attaches to the tuner
rod on the longer standoff. All wires should not be taut. If you find a wire is taut it may be
necessary to rotate the two cross units to relieve any tension on the transition wires.
J) Locate the extension rod with the attached slotted extender. Locate the Mid tuner on
the longer standoffs. Slide the slotted extender over the bottom end of this 102" rod until it
butts against the extension. Rotate the extender until the hole in the Mid tuner rod lines
up with the slot in the extender. Insert a screw into this hole and slot and tighten.
See figure 4.
K) Locate the remaining extender and place it over the Mid tuner rod opposite the tuner rod
just installed. Align the slot in the extender with the hole on the tuner rod and secure as in J.
It should extend about 4.5 inches and has no additional rod inserted into it.
L) Loosen the clamp on the short pair of standoffs on the Lower section. Rotate this pair until
they line up with the Mid tuner rods without the extenders.
M) Take the last two short standoffs on the Lower section, loosen each clamp and orient
one of these standoffs so it is in line with one from the pair above it. Orient the other so it
is in line with the remaining standoff of the pair. Tighten the clamps.

N) Slide the shortest Lower tuner rod through the closest spaced standoffs, with
the drill hole closest to the GAP. Locate a black jumper and attach one end to the top
of the short tuner rod with a screw and tighten.
O) Slide the longer lower tuner rod thru the remaining short standoffs, again, so
the screw hole is closest to the GAP. Take the remaining black jumper and attach
it to the top of this rod with a screw and tighten.
P) Take the other ends of each black jumper and attach it to the Mid Tuner rod directly
above with a screw and tighten. These jumpers should be loose. If they
are taut you can raise or lower the position of the clamp on the short standoff pair
to remove any tension. Proper positioning can be achieved by making sure the bottom
of these two Mid tuner rods are in the same plane as the tops of your
Lower tuner rods.
CHAPTER 5: COUNTERPOISE AND HOOP ASSEMBLY
5.0 GENERAL
The Counterpoise and hoop assembly includes a Counterpoise support bracket,
4-80" rods, Counterpoise Hoop - a 35' length of copper wire with a ring terminal,
a 4' length of Dacron with a ring terminal, 3 counterpoise End Caps and a 4' 9"
fixed wire extension with 2 ring terminals.
5.1 Counterpoise Bracket Assembly see figure 5.
A) Locate the Counterpoise bracket. It is partially assembled. Locate the
3/4" x 9" long PVC section with the 2 rivets inserted.
B) Push a 11/4" screw thru one of the vacant holes in the aluminum bracket.
Place one of the drill holes in the PVC tube over this screw.
C) Push a second screw thru the remaining vacant hole in the aluminum bracket
and then through the remaining vacant drill hole in the PVC tube.
D)
Attach lock nuts to each screw and tighten both securely
