I was keen to get the vertical pole fitted to the workshop side panel. I used large tie wraps to achieve this and had the bottom section securely fixed via a wood plank which I drilled holes through as seen in the picture. (Note! Ensure you have the top section up a little to get hold of when you start to extend pole sections. I used tape to keep it slightly extended.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next part was to attach the wire to the top section using tape. I then raised each section in turn which involves some arm muscle to twist to lock each section, wire was then taped at each section until fully raised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design of this aerial was an inverted sloping L which was 40ft up then sloping down to a 6ft fence post next to the house, I used a large insulator as a counterbalance to keep the wire reasonably taught when vertical would sway about. I then had a total length of 106ft for the ATU. Mike (M0AWS) checked the resonance of this aerial before it was connected to the FC 20 ATU and at that time was acceptable! I connected three radials for the ATU at ground level and run them along our garden fence. Each radial was about 60ft in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
