This will be the final result...
|
|
|
|
An example of how the element is mounted: Fix (glue) the template to the vertical support, at the correct separation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drill with a small (2.5 to 3mm) drill, just inside the circle, from each side of the support (don't try to drill through.
|
|
|
|
Remove the inner part.
|
|
|
|
|
|
File (with a round file), and adjust the diameter to the horizontal supports.
|
|
|
|
Another example, here are the middle supports. Take note of the orientation of the holes drilled for the coax support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drill the horizontal support at each end (90 degrees difference), to
pass the coax cable in the right direction.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, prepare the holes for the BNC connector. Drill the mounting holes with the right diameter for selftapping screws.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The drill the center hole for the connector.
|
|
|
|
File, to obtain a flat surface for the connector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here the BNC connector, being prepared before mounting.
|
|
|
|
Idem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the second support being prepared for connection to the outer loop. These holes should be on one side only!
|
|
|
|
The cable being prepared for connection to the outer loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the outer sleeve for about 4 cm.
|
|
|
|
Without cutting the braid, remove inner polyethylene isolation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Twist the braid, joining it with the inner conductor. Then bend them, near the end of the sleeve, at 90 degrees, to help passing them through the holes.
|
|
|
|
This is the correct way to connect them with the outer loop.
