H.F. ANTENNAASSEMBI.,Y
GUIDE:
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN.. . . .
1. Select an assembly area large enough to comfortably accoNnodate
overall antenna dimensions. A shallow box is handy for holding and
sorting the srualler hardware, as is a marking pen for identifying
components .
2. Some
set of sp
3/9"
simple tools are required:
in-tite, and socket or end
LA-32 Hdwe
measure, screwdriver, and a
. Commonnut sizes arel
5/ L6-18 Hdwe
A tape
wrenches
L/2"
7
/L5". . . . . o.. L/4-29 Hdwe 9/L5". . . . . . . . 3/8-15 Hdwe
To avoid damage to antenna components, be aware that most hardware
need only be moderatelv hand tiqhtened with screwdriver or spintite to
be secure. when using tools with mechanical leverage such as socket or
end wrenches, care must be taken not to over-torque nuts and danage
components .
3. Thoroughly unpack shipping box and check components and hardware
against the Parts List. If thele is a difference, Iook for a "Factory
Update/Change " sheet accornpanying the assembly instructions pEior to
contacting KLll.
4. For easiest and fastest assernbly, take a few moments before
starting to famj-liarize yourself with the assembly guide and the
antenna comDonents .
BOOMASSEMBLY*
1. Lay out 3" O. D. boom sections on the
below: ground as shown in the sketch
lz'4' 6'
| -l ronruT
2. To assenbly, insert the srraged (shaped) end of the section into the
appropriate straight section and align the bolt holes. Each joint is
cross boLted with two l/4-20 x 3-t/2" bolts, lockwashers and nuts.
Torque nuts up to lgftlIbs.
H.F. ELEMENT
CONSTRUCTION!
Each compLete antenna element is composed of tvro halves of
telescoping aLuminum tubing secured in the rniddle by a Lexan insulator.
Reflector/director element halves are electrically joined by a short
j umper strap. The driven elements are interconnected by phasing straps
and the front driven element provides the feedpoints, via an
applopriate ba1un, for the antenna.
*NOTE: FOR HEAVY DUTY BOOlt, SEE SUPPLEI,{ENTAISHEET.

Iap of
Assembly for Element Halves
A. Inner tubing sections on each element half are telescoped (or
the tip sections will vary
sIightly because the over-a1l ment half th is the critica
ele6tri6al dimension and the tip section is adjusted as necessary to
achieve it.
B. The smaller inside section of each telescoping joint is always
coated lightly with Penetr (a conductive zinc Paste) to Promote
good long lasting electrical connections '
c. Each telescoping section is secured with a specified band clanp
Iocated L/L6" back fion slit end of larger tubing. See the sketch
bel,ow.
D. The chart below lists the tubing lengths supplied for each
element half, the proper band clamp for each overlap, and the correct
element half length (adjust the tip section). Remenber to.use Penetrox
at each overla! aria securely tighten clarnps unlil tubing cannot be
pulled out or rotated. Pair up element halves as they ale completed to
avoid mixups '

I"lounting the Element Halves
A. Take each pair cf element halves, in sequence, and attach
them to the insul-ators. Check that reinforcing inserts in element
half butts are f l-ush and mounting holes are aligned. Lay the elenent
half butt into the insulator channel . Insert lO-32 x 2 L/2" screws
from bottom of insulator and secure above element butt with lg-32
nuts and lockwashers. Ho1es in el-ement half butt will align one way
only (drilled slightly off sguare to comPensate for element 'Iift'
designed into insulator). If screws are not an easy fit, rotate
element haLf butt 180 degrees and rePeat.
B. Assemble all element halves
completed element aside, in order. to insulators and set each
c. The Director element, #7, aE front of boom, requires a 1/2" x
3-3/4" jumper strap between element halves. Bow the strap slightly,
as needed, to fit the two inner most element mounting screw studs and
secure with addi-tional l-ockwashers and nuts. See sketch below.
4, llounting the Element to the Boom
A. Rol-l the boom until assembly bolts are 45 from vertical- with
boJ-t heads "up". Center element #1 at two inches from the rear of the
boom (about l/2" of boom should extend beyond the insulator) and
securely tighten the HTM-350 clanp. Loosely install the remainder of
the efements on the boom according to the dimensions on the drawing on
the next page. Aiig Li.a lirector e]-ement to #1 and tighten clamp.

position between elements #1 and *2. Install straps on inner set of
element mounting screles, over the existing nuts. Secure straps on
element #1 with additional tg-32 nuts and lockwashers. Add next
longest pair of phasing straps (6' 3-l/4") between elements #2 and #3.
Secure straps to el-ement #2 as in element #1. Continue installation of
remaining phasing stlaps in the method just described (Elements #3 & #4
-5' 3/8"), (Elements #4 & #5 -4' 3/8"), (
El-ements #5 & #5 -3' 2-

D. Tensioning of the phasing straps strengthens the boom and
minirizes droop. Iightly tighten element #2 clarnp and then tap the #2
j-nsulator away frorn #1 until the phasing straps are taut. Then tighten
#2 clamp. Now lightly secure #3 clanp and tap #3 insulator away from
#2, when straps are taut tighten #3 clamp. Repeat this process for
ai-I the driven eLements.
E, When the front driven eLement (#6) has been secured, the
intermediate driven elements may be loosened to align the el_ements to
elemer.i #f. Tension will not be disturbed. Be surR to tighten alL
clamps securely.
F. Refe! to the Dimension sheet and check all elements for correct
length and spac ing.
ATTACHTNG THE BOOM-TO-UAST PLATE
1. Temporarily attach feedline to antenna as this will affect
balance. LooseLy attach the 8' x 9" boom-to-mast plate to the boom
about 15 feet from the rear. Use the two 3" U-botts supplied. Use the
plate to raise the antenna off its supports and then adjust the plate
until the exact balance point is determined. Align plate verti-ally
and tighten the U-bolts .
-8-

COMPLE?ING
THE ANTENNA
1. If possible, allow the antenna to sit assenbled overnight. The
hardware will temperature cycle and various nuts and bolts may require
further tightening. Check aL1 nuts, bo1ts, clamps, etc., and rnake sure
they are all tight and secure. This is a very easy operation on the
ground, and very difficult once the antenna has been instaLled.
2. If you live in an area of severe weather, or if it is J.ikely
the an'Lenna elements will snag on trees' guy wires' etc., during
ins*.alJ,ation, it is recommended that the elements be additionally
secured in the following manner:
Drill a #35 pilot hole into the boom through the existing
hole in the HTM-350 clamp band and screw in a #5 x 3/8"
sheet metal screw. Repeat for all elements (screws are
supplied ) .
3. Plastic plugs are supplied for the boorn ends. They keep out
birds and reduce wind noise. Cut or drilL a small drain hol-e in each
near the bottom edge before installing.
4. Connect 56 ohm coax to balun and route back under boom to the
mounting plate. Tape or strap every 3 to 4 feet. To avoid problems,
use only quality coax of known 50 ohrn irnpedance (
such as Tjres Fl,1-8,
Bel-den 8214, Columbia 1198, RG 213, RG 214, etc.).
5. The antenna's boom-to-mast plate is drilled for a 2"O.D. mast.
Instalf wj-th four 2
" U-bolts, Mounting this antenna on a mast with
other HF antennas is not recornmended, For special mounting
requirements, contact KL!6.
