S9v 31' Installation Guide
_____________________________________________________________________________
For portable ground-mount operations and DXpeditions, use our optional
Portable Mount, shown below. The Portable Mount is a heavy-duty mount with
an integral stake that makes ground mounting the S9v in temporary (or
permanent) locations fast and easy.
S9v Portable Mount
For elevated installations, you have several options. Because the S9v is so
light, you can roof-mount the antenna using a simple TV-type tripod from Radio
TM
Shack
or any electronics store. We suggest using a 3 to 4 foot fiberglass mast.
Again, do not use a mast with an OD larger than 1-5/8". To create a mount for
the S9v on the mast, simply install the optional S9v Pipe Mount Clamp 15" from
the top of the mast. The S9v will slip over the mast and rest on the flat portion of
the clamp assembly. In this elevated configuration, the S9v functions as a
ground plane (GP) antenna and only 4 radials are required, as discussed below.
