S9v 18’ Mk II Installation Guide

For elevated installations, use 4 radials per band, each ¼ wavelength long.

Attach the radials (and your coax shield) to the mast u-bolt at the base of the

antenna using ring terminal connectors. If possible position the radials equally

around the S9v base. You may drop the radials away from the S9v at a 45-

degree angle to the base, if desired, or lay them flat on a roof. Attach insulators

to the ends of each radial. Do NOT run a ground wire from the radials/coax

shield to an earth ground.

S9v COMPONENTS

The S9v consists of six lightweight telescoping tapered fiberglass tubes with a

continuous, insulated vertical element wire inside the tubes. The base tube

functions as a hard shell case, protecting the collapsed fiberglass sections. The

antenna is shipped with end caps and polymer tube rings to retain the

telescoping sections and to facilitate portable operation.

The hardware that is provided with the antenna is shown on the next page.
