I not onlystartedsellingthis,I useone.Theantennashouldworkfineas is,however,with olderreceiversor with longcoaxrunsthe sensitivemay be lessthen what you arelookingfor.

To connectthe outputconnectorto the board,I foundit waseaserto used 1.0 inchof small50 Ohmcoax(RG-316or RG-l88).Beforeinstallingthe connectorintothe
endcap,solderthe centerof the coaxto the centerpinof the connector.Nextmoundthe connectorwith a groundlug,nut andtightenit down.Solderthe groundlugto thebreadof the coax.
Next,solderthe breadat the otherendof the coaxto the groundsideof the antennaboardandthe centerof the coaxto the holemarked"A"'.Nowmountthe antenna
insideof the 1 inchPVCand fit the end cap in olace.
Beforegluingthe endcap,test the antennasystemfirst.
Theoverallantennaassemble
is 3.75 incheslong.Shortforthe frequencyit is being
askto receive.
Youmay haveto adda shortwireto the endof the antennaextending
the leant.To do this,a smallopeninginthe soldermaskat the endof the antennaboard
is providedso you can solderthe wireto it. Withthe receiveron a "dead"frequency(llike1700kHz)adjustthe wireleantto werethe S meterjust comesoff the end.That isonebaror lessfor the digitalbarS meters.
I mountedmy antennain a 6 inchlong,1 inchPVCpipewith endcaps.I foundthat theantennaworkfineat groundlevelbut puttingit up higheris betterbut not necessary.
lf
you addedwireat groundlevelyou may haveto shortenit whenraiseduo.
As with anyshortlowfrequencyantennaa goodgroundis a must.Youmaynot havethe spaceto use32 _wavewiresat 500kHzbut usethe spaceyou have.
lf you livenearan industrial
parkyou may havea highlevelof noise.Thisis not the faultof the antenna.lf you makethe adjustments
in summerwhenthe noiselevelis higher
on 160 metersandbelowthen usethe antennain winteryou maysee(S meter)lowerperformance. 73's WA3IAC
