  • Page 2 Halyards and pulleys required to hoist and support the antenna are not supplied, however they can be purchased sepa- rately from Barrett Communications (Halyard and Pulley Kit P/N BCA91201). It is recommended that the halyards used to support the antenna be either UV stabilised dacron cord or wire rope and that pulleys be of stainless steel construction.
  • Page 3 Antenna Orientation The orientation of the antenna at the site is vitally important. In Horizontal configuration, the radiation is broadside to the antenna i.e. if transmissions need to travel in a predomi- nantly North-South direction, the antenna should be set up with the ends pointing East-West. Horizontal Configuration For Inverted V, the antenna becomes more suitable for NVIS, with radiation being directed at high angles, but omnidirec- tional around the antenna on a horizontal plane.
  • Page 4 Installation - Inverted V Take the antenna in its box to its installation point, below the hoisting rope. Carefully remove antenna from box and - with RESISTOR LOADS FACING DOWN - lay on ground. DO NOT REMOVE TAPE. Carefully remove tape and cable ties and extend each section one at a time until extended to full length. Attach a hoisting cord to the balun.
  • Page 5 Installation - Horizontal Configuration Take the antenna in its box to its installation point, below the hoisting rope. Carefully remove antenna from box and - with RESISTOR LOADS FACING DOWN - lay on ground. DO NOT REMOVE TAPE. Carefully remove tape and cable ties and extend each section one at a time until extended to full length. Attach rope to each insulator (one at each end) and slowly hoist between the two mounting points ensuring that the wires do not tangle.
