Hy-gain av-12avq manual

I mounted the Hy-Gain AVAVQ on a 17' mast with two tuned radials per band, made from #12 stranded THHN wire. The radials have a short run of black dacron rope on the ends of them which, in turn, are staked in the ground using tent stakes. The radials are mounted at approximately a 45 degree angle. INSTRUCTION MANUAL General Description The Hy-Gain 18AVQII is an omni-directional, vertical radiator that operates on , 20, 40, and 80 meter amateur bands. The system will work against earth ground or a resonant radial system when mounted above ground. You can make your own radial system following the manual, or use the. Hy-Gain dealer. This manual tells you how to construct your own radial system. The 12AVQ-S now features stainless steel hardware for all electrical and most mechanical connections. NOTE: If you mount the antenna, then find the roof space is too small for the radial system, you can droop the radials over the roof at almost any angle without seriously changing.

After more than 40 years of service of my Hy-Gain AVAVQ groundplane antenna, of which 25 years on top of an apartment building at about feet, Ernest PA3HCM and I decided that it was time for some refurbishing. The plastic parts were partly broken and others suffered from the heavy conditions the antenna had experienced. The following Hy-Gain verticals are well adapted for the phasing arrangements showninthisreports MODEL 18HT-S HY-TOWER The 18HT-S is a multi-band vertical antenna with automatic band selection of meters by means of a unique stub decoupling system. The Hy-Tower with a base loading coil operates efficiently on meters. The system. Set up the vertical, per the instructions, for the phone band. 2. Drove a 4' piece of /4" EMT tubing into the ground, leaving about 1'-6" exposed. 3. Set the bottom of the AVQ base section, 6" above ground. 4. Drove an 8', 5/8" copper-clad ground rod 6" from the EMT and connected it to base of antenna.
