It is important for the antenna to have an unobstructed path to the transmitter.
For outdoor mast mount installation Note •• Complete all assembly work on the ground. Raise the completed antenna after assembly. 1 3 Use the nut , washer , and hexagon screw to attach the antenna to the wall/mast bracket.
