CHAPTER 1

The Hy-Gain TH5/MK2 is a 5 element, three band beam antenna designed

for broadband, high performance operation on the Amateur 10, 15 and 20

meter bands. Broadbanding is accomplished through the use of two fully

trapped driven elements. Stainless steel hardware and clamps are used on

all electrical connections. Hy-Gain's 50 ohm BN-86 balun and preformed feed

straps are supplied. The antenna is designed to fit masts from 1.9" to 2.5" in

diameter and can be rotated with Hy-Gain's CD-4511, Ham IV or T2X

*Effective moment is defined as the product of the antenna weight and

turnin

radius.

•Projected Area is the actual (flat) projected area of either the elements or

boom (highest value) without any shape factor included. This area may be

used with EIA/TIA-222-D and later versions and with the UBC formulas to

determine tower and mast loading. On HF beams, the element area is

usually higher. On VHF/UHF beams, the boom area is usually higher. When

stacking HF and VHF beams, use the element area of all beams at their

attachment points to determine loading at zero degrees to the boom axis.

CHAPTER 7

FOR OUR OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: The United States uses English units

of measurement. Please see Parts List in back of this manual for assistance

in identif

the hardware and components supplied with this product.

Choose a large, clear area to assemble the TH5/MK2. The area must be at

least 19 ft. x 31 ft. 6 in. (5.8 m x 9.6 m). You may wish to use sawhorses or

chairs to support the boom during assembly. A concrete driveway is an

excellent area for assembly. If you assemble this antenna over a grassy area,

precautions should be taken so that hardware is not accidentally lost during

TOOLS: The followin

tools are re

uired for eas

assembl

of the TH5/MK2:

1 Tape Measure, 12 foot

2 Adjustable Wrench, 8 inch

1 Nut Driver, 7/16 inch

1 Nut Driver, 3/8 inch

1 Nut Driver, 5/16 inch

When unpacking your antenna, check inside of all tubing for parts (traps,

smaller tubing, etc.). To conserve space, these smaller articles are sometimes

put inside larger pieces. Check all parts against the Parts List to make sure no

parts are missing. The hardware supplied with this antenna is bagged by

thread size for

our convenience.

All tubing supplied with the TH5/MK2 telescopes together. Make all

measurements to the

iven dimensions

lus or minus

no more than an 1 /8

The assembly of this antenna will be easier if you read this manual completely

through at least three (3) times before beginning assembly. Allow at least 6

hours for assembl

. Double and tri

le check ALL dimensions after assembl

NOTE: An extra Figure 6 has been inserted in this manual for use when

assemblin

the antenna.

The position of the elements onto the boom begins at the center of the

antenna and progresses outward. Followthe instructions as outlined on page

5 and referto Fi

ure 6 for assistance.

Select the boom-to-bracket damp parts (Item Nos. 66 & 67). Loosely

assemble them on the boom ends (Item No. 65), as shown in Figure 1. Line

up the holes on both brackets and both boom ends. Secure the two brackets

together with four (4) 1/4"-20 X 3/4" bolts, lockwashers, and nuts. Secure the

brackets to the two boom ends using the 5/16"-18 x 2 314" bolts,

lockwashers, and nuts. Tighten these six (6) bolts securely. The use of heavy

motor oil on stainless steel threads will prevent galling of threads.

Assemble the two cast aluminum brackets (Item No. 59) on the mast at the

desired height above your tower. Secure the two brackets together using the

two (2) 5/16"-18 x 4" bolts, lockwashers, and nuts. You may wish to drill a

hole through your mast so that the remaining 5/16"-18 x 4" bolt may be

inserted through the cast brackets and the mast and tightened. This bolt will

prevent the antenna from twisting on the mast in high winds. See Figure 1.

The four (4) 5 inch bolts will be installed when the antenna is installed on the

Slip the two remaining boom sections (Item No. 57) over the two swaged

ends of the assembled boom and secure using (2 each) 1/4"-20 x 2 1/2" bolts,

lockwashers

and nuts as shown in Fi

10 Meter Reflector

Select a pair of the smallest element-to-boom brackets (Item No. 60). These

are marked with a number 4. Assemble these brackets on the boom 531/4

inches to the right of the rear driven element brackets. Refer to Figures 3 and

6. DO NOT tighten at this time.

Select two sets of medium sized element-to-boom brackets (Item No. 61) and

loosely assemble these on the boom ends. The front set should be 68 inches

to the left of the Front Driven Element brackets. The rear set should be 36

inches to the right of the 10 meter reflector brackets. Refer to Figures 3 and
