FEATURES:

The EB-432 EGGBEATER offers exciting new performance characteristics for both fixed and mobile operations.
The EGGBEATER produces smooth Omni directional HORIZONTAL polarity at the horizon. Above the horizon, the pat-
tern transforms to RIGHT HAND CIRCULAR, making it a natural for OSCAR satellite use. By spacing the EGGBEATER
1/8 wave above a metal surface or the RK-70CM for base installations, the circular lobe increases by 6 dB, producing a
hemispherical pattern. No rotation or steering is required. For terrestrial mobile, base, net control, contest or field day op-
eration, increasing the distance above ground or over a metallic surface improves the horizontal radiation by up to 6 dB.
This produces instantaneous communications in all directions. Hams with little room or budget for larger antennas will
experience a new standard of performance with the EB-432/RK70CM.

  • Page 2 EB-432/RK70CM ASSEMBLY MANUAL Caution: The copperweld steel loop elements are packed in a tightly wrapped condition. Use extreme care while unpacking the loops. Work in a clear area and be sure no one is standing near during unpacking. Tool Required: 3/32” and 5/32 Allen wrench (provided) and 1/2 & 9/16 end wrench or socket.
  • Page 3 EB-432/RK70CM PART LAYOUT GENERAL INFORMATION Feedline should be good quality 50 ohm coax cable. Times LMR-400 and Belden 9913F are excellent low-loss foam types and RG-8X is also good for short run as in a mobile setup. Connect the male "N" to the Balun case connector and, if a mast is used, secure the cable to the mast with tape or nylon ties, beginning 4-6 inches below the connector and repeating every 12”...
