(2) Preparing Antenna Wire and Connecting to Terminating Resistor Box.
(a) Cut two 220-foot (67.1 meter) pieces of antenna wire from the 500-foot
(152.5 meter) roll.
(b) Thread one antenna wire at midpoint (110 feet from each end between two
and secure
flat washers on antenna connector
on the terminating resistor box
by tightening hex nut. (Antenna connector
will hold the antenna wire going to
antenna stakes B and C). Place and tighten a conductor splice
at the midpoint.
(c) Measure 60 feet (18.3 meters) from the midpoint on each loose end of
each antenna wire, make a loop and place a conductor splice at each point. These
loops will connect to the antenna stake lanyards.
(d) Repeat the procedure ((b) and (c) above) for the antenna wire to be con-
nected to terminating resistor box antenna connector
(Antenna connector
will hold the antenna wire going to antenna stakes A.and D).
