1. Location Preparation:

a. Determine the best location for the antenna, assuming that the

distance from the antenna to the radio base station is equal to, or less

than, the length of the COAXNTN-L antenna cable.

b. Assure that the ground rod is installed into the soil as close to the

location of the Polyphaser as is possible.
