of gain.
B. To optimize the performance from this high quality antenna, always use high quality coax and
connectors, as old, corroded, or poor quality materials are common sources of performance losses.
C. If possible, test the antenna, connectors and feedline BEFORE installing to your mast or tower. At 6 feet
or more the antenna will exhibit VSWR
similar
to higher mounting heights. Set antenna on a ladder or
temporary mast. Check for continuity and that the match is close to the rated specifications. Remember, the
2M8WLHD is tailored for the lower half of two meters where horizontal polarity and sideband / CW are the
common modes.
STACKING REMINDERS:
1. All driven element blocks MUST be oriented to the same side of boom.
2. All boom-to-mast plates MUST be mounted at the same point on the boom.
3. Feed / phasing lines MUST be of equal electrical length or multiples of 1 wavelength in order to maintain
equal phasing in the array. Improper phasing can severely deteriorate performance.
