FEED LINE CONNECTION
Connect your feed line as shown in the
diagram. One side of the driven element
is connected to the center conductor of the
coax and the other is connected to the shield.
Route the conductors so that they do not
touch the #1 bracket. Seal the
Coax where the conductors split
using an appropriate sealant.
Water should never be allowed
to enter the coax conductor. Use of
a balun is recommended. An example
of a coaxial balun is shown below. You
may use this method or any commercial
version you wish. Placement of the balun
does not have to be at the mast. It is better
to have it close to the feed point
