Antenna assembling instructions:

Take antenna parts out the box and find the semi-dipole main alluminum tubes. They have pre-assembled
inside the other tubes in a telescopic sequence. Tilt down the main tube end and shake it to have each one
inner tubes heads out for about 15 cm or 6 inch. Make sure to have enough free space to extend the entire
semi-dipole. Pull out the smaller tube, find the passtrought hole on the inner end, make it coincident whith
the passtrought hole present on the next diameter tube which has two different diameter holes, from the
larger hole side insert and push down the hallen screw passing trought the inner tube hole, put washer and
selflock nut and screw down.
Make sure to have the bolt head as in the picture below. Do not forget to lubrificate the stainless steel bolts
or nuts before to install them. Any kind of oil or grease is ok.
Do the same way for the other tubes joints. Some inner ends have more holes, they will help you in tuning
antenna on your preferite band section, use the one in the middle for now.
Make sure to have heach one tubes connection having bolts head on the same side.
When completed, insert on the semi-dipole end the trap set. Bolt down each one tube joint following the
same way used before. Make sure to have traps drainage holes on the lower side.
When the two half dipole are ready, prepare the central plate and assemble all the parts as in the
pictures below. Make sure to have about 10-12mm or half inch of clearance in between the two
dipole ends, with connection bolts aligned on the front side.
The truss cable will only be installed when the dipole is completed.
The antenna has a series of holes on the D6 20mm tube section before the 30m trap with which you
can adjust the 30m tuning and a set of holes on the terminal end D8 for 40m tuning.
Tune 30m before and after 40m ends. By shortening it rises, lengthening decreases in frequency.
