Please note: In an effort to keep the price on Maco Antennas down, we have decided not to clean up all the burrs and

rough edges on the parts. We recommend that you deburr and clean up each part with files, sandpaper, etc. so that they

go together easily. We are aware this needs to be done but have elected not to do it to save you the money we would

have to add to the price of the kit for this service.

This figure shows what the antenna should look like when assembled. Specific assembly details are

shown on following pages. All hardware should be tightened securely, and then coated with silicon rubber

sealant or similar compound to prevent loosing from wind vibration .

Take care to locate all parts accurately per dimensions given. Complete each step as instructed before

going onto the following steps.

After completing assembly, install red plastic cap (PL4R) on the director end of the boom, and the

black plastic cap (PL4B) on the reflector end. This will enable you to tell at a glance the direction of transmit

and receive.

The length of the reflector wire is very critical. It must be the correct length to

operate correctly. Take the wire

(WO4P)

and uncoil it making sure that there are no

kinks; secure it to a nail. Pull the wire until it stretches an inch or so. The easy way

to get the correct lengc#,for the reflector loop is as follows

1. Drive

nails in a board or fence

l/2

the length of the loop apart --which is 228”

(5.790m)

between them.

2. Stretch the wire

aro:zq$he

nails by hand as tightly as possible and splice ends

together. Solder the splice. Remove one nail

521,

Nil,

N12, N26, and remove the loop. Cut any excess wire off.

3. Loosely assemble the machine screws

(S21),

flatwashers (N26), lockwashers

(N12),

and hex

nuts (N06) onto the lugs of the fiberglass arms,

adjusting the length as shown.

4. Tighten 3 of the 4 clamps that hold the

6. Tighten the wire by pulling the fourth

fiberglass rod until the wire is the same tightness as it was around the nails. The wire

loop is now the correct length. REFLECTOR DIMENSIONS ARE ONLY PRELIMINARY. CHANGE
