Antenna setup

• Follow instructions from the antenna manual, being careful not to lose nuts and bolts!
• Before attaching the choke (coil thing at the large end), check using voltmeter there is no electrical short between the 2 sides of the antenna.
• Cable tie RF cable to the beam, making sure it remains aligned with the beam.
• Do not tighten coax connectors too much, just finger tight.
