Installation Tips
- Choose a sturdy mounting point (mast, tripod, or window frame) that can support the 13‑ft span.
- Attach the spreaders to the sections using the quick‑release clamps; ensure each clamp is fully seated.
- Use the tension rods to achieve a slight upward cant, improving elevation angle for long‑distance contacts.
- Secure the antenna with the provided stainless‑steel guy lines to reduce sway in windy conditions.
- Connect your feedline to the center feedpoint; for optimum performance, match the feedline impedance to the antenna’s 50 Ω design.
- Tune using an antenna analyzer; adjust the spreader angles if necessary to achieve VSWR ≤1.5.
