4.3 Connections
Warning: Turn off equipment before making or removing any connections.
Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
Ground connection. For reduced noise and RF exposure in your shack, all
equipment should be grounded to one common point on a water pipe or a copper
ground rod driven into the earth.
Feedlne. Connect at least a 65' length of RG-
8 or RG-8X to the SO-239 port on the center
section on the bottom of the transformer.
Final connection notes:
The coax cable
should feed the antenna at a 45-degree angle
as shown in the figure at right. Failure to do so
will result in parasitic coupling and will cause
higher than normal VSWR readings.
