Model No: 20M6-125

FEATURES:

The 20M6-125 is a medium spaced, high performance, full band coverage 6 element Yagi, computer optimized to

squeeze the last drop of performance from this boom length. The design provides virtually flat gain, exceptional front to

back and excellent VSWR never exceeding 2:1 at the upper band edge. Larger, sleeved elements and boom provide the

125 MPH wind survival factor. Construction includes machined boom to element mounting plates and a rugged hairpin

match. This antenna will be in the air for many years, keeping you on the top of the pileup in spite of Mother Nature!

There is no finer, stronger antenna available today.

SPECIFICATIONS:

*Subtract 2.14 from dBi for dBd / FS = Free Space

20M6-125 ASSEMBLY DETAILS

20M6-125 HAIRPIN ADDENDUM

NOTE:

HAIRPIN HAS BEEN ROUTED TO THE REAR OF ANTENNA TO

AVOID INTERFEARENCE WITH OVERHEAD SUPPORT EYEBOLT.

NOTE: THE “DIMENSION SHEET” AND THE “HARDWARE ARRANGEMENT” DRAWINGS ARE

QUITE COMPLETE WITH ASSEMBLY INFORMATION. EXPERIENCED BUILDERS MAY NOT

REQUIRE THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. WHEN IN DOUBT, USE THE WRITTEN WORD. ANTI-

SEIZE PASTE (PENETROX OR NOALOX) IS RECOMMENDED ON ALL HARDWARE THREADS

AND ALUMINUM JOINTS. TOOLS REQUIRED: Electric drill, screw driver, 11/32" nut driver or

socket, 7/16" end wrench, 7/16", 1/2", and 9/16" socket set, measuring tape.

1. Pair up 1/2” element tip sections by length. Insert 1/2” sections into the swaged end of the 3/4” x

53” sections secure with 5/8” Compression Clamps (SEE COMPRESSION CLAMP & TIP ASSEMBLY

DETAIL). Set the proper exposed tip length (SEE DIMENSION SHEET). Install all tip sections. Use a

felt pen and masking tape to identify each element set by position as it is completed.

2. Slide a 7/8” X 23” EXTERNAL SLEEVE over the butt end of a 3/4" x 53” & 1/2” tip assembly and

align holes. Install this assembly into the end of a 1" x 48” element section with holes at 1/2” and 1-

1/2” from end. Use 8-32 x 1-1/4" screws and locknuts at the joint. Tighten securely. Slide a 7/8” x 32”

SLEEVE SECTION into the butt end of the 1” section and align holes. Attach a 1-1/4” x 48” ELEMENT

SECTION to 1” ELEMENT SECTION using 8-32 x 1-1/2” screws and locknuts. Repeat for all

elements.

3. PARASITIC ELEMENT ASSEMBLY: Slide a 1-1/2” x 30” INNER ELEMENT SECTION onto each

end of a 1-3/8” x 51” CENTER SLEEVE, align holes, and secure with a 1/4-20 x 2” bolt and locknut.

Slide on the second 1-1/2 x 30” section. Align the holes and secure with the second 1/4-20 x 2” bolt

and locknut. Place a clamp plate one either side at the center of this element assembly and rotate so

the bolt heads are up. Add the 1/4-20 x 2-3/4” bolts trough the 6 holes and add the locknuts. Check

the element centering again and then tighten the clamp block bolts evenly to keep the plates parallel.

Repeat for the other two PARASITIC ELEMENTS.

4. DRIVEN ELEMENT ASSEMBLY: Refer to the HARDWARE ARRANGEMENT drawing and

assemble THE LAST pair of ELEMENT CLAMP PLATES including the “L” BRACKET for mounting the

balun. Slide in the 1-1/4” x 24” fiberglass rod, center it, align holes up and down and tighten the clamp

bolts evenly. Now add the white poly rings to each side of the fiberglass rod and push them up against

the clamp plates. Insert the 1-/38” x 26” sleeves into the last two 1-1/2 x 30” SOE tubes. Align the

holes and carefully slide these assemblies over the fiberglass rod ends. Align all the holes and, FROM

THE BOTTOM, insert two 1/4-20 x 2-1/2” bolts. Drop on two HAIRPIN CLAMP BLOCKS and add a

locknut finger tight to each bolt.

5. BOOM ASSEMBLY: Inspect the CENTER BOOM SPLICE for any nicks or scratches. File smooth

if any found. Lightly oil or lubricate the COUPLING RINGS and insert the splice onto one plain end of

a 3” x 180” swaged boom section. Add the two 1/4-20 x 3-1/2 bolts and locknuts, but do not tighten.

Now slide the second boom section on and align the holes. Add the bolts and tighten. Next add the

3” x 180” plain ends. Add the 1/4-20 x 3-1/2 bolts and locknuts and tighten.

6. Orient the eyebolt eyes to the top of the boom. Place the boom on bucks or equivalent to get it to a

convenient working height. Position one PARASITIC CENTER SECTION one inch from the end of the

boom, add the saddle clamps and the four 1/4-20 x 3” bolts (a dab of Noalox on the threads make

insertion easy). Align the top of the clamp to the eyebolt and tighten the saddle clamps evenly. Next,

refer to the DIMENSION SHEET and using a tape measure and a marking pen or piece of tape, mark

the ELEMENT LOCATIONS on the boom. Mount the center element assemblies on the boom the

same as the reflector. Align each with the reflector and tighten.

20M6-125 ASSEMBLY MANUAL

7. HAIRPIN MATCH ASSEMBLY: Refer to the HARDWARE ARRANGEMENT drawing. Insert a 1/4-

20 X 2-1/4” bolt from inside the band clamp and Install the band clamp loosely positioned about 30”

inches in front of the driven element. Mount the BALUN using the 2-1/2” U-bolt and cradle but do not

over tighten. Remove the finger tight nuts over the hairpin clamp blocks and place the balun lead

lugs over the studs and replace the nuts finger tight. Next, slide the short bent end of the 3/8” tubes

into the small hairpin clamp blocks and flush the ends of the tubes with the blocks. Align and tighten

the clamp block bolts lightly. Install the shorting bar on the straight ends of the tubes and add the 1/4

-20 x 1/4” set screws, but do not tighten on to the tubes yet. Set to the proper shorting bar

dimension, align and tighten the set screws securely. Move the band clamp under the shorting bar,

add the 3/8” spacer tube on the stud and drop the shorting bar over the stud and add the locknut.

Tighten the band clamp, and then tighten the nut.

Refer to the DIMENSION SHEET. This dimension is from the inner edge of the shorting bar to the

inner edge of the tube. Install the main feedline or feed line jumper on the 1:1 balun. Tape the

connector up carefully. Use the large cable ties to secure the cable to the boom.

8. INSTALLING THE ELEMENT TIP SECTIONS: Start with the REFLECTOR tip sections and

insert each double wall 1” element butt into the 1-1/4” center sections. align the holes and insert the

8-32 x 1-1/2” screws. Add the locknuts and tighten securely. Continue adding the other tip sections

until the antenna is complete.

9. Determine the BALANCE POINT of the assembled antenna and mount the BOOM TO MAST

PLATE using two 3 inch U-bolts, stainless steel lockwashers and nuts.

10. OVERHEAD BOOM SUPPORT SYSTEM. This antenna is supplied with both outer and inner

overhead support systems. The outer support system uses the supplied wire rope assemblies.

Install turnbuckle plate to your mast at 48” minimum from your boom. Before hooking turnbuckles to

turnbuckle plate open turnbuckles until just a thread or two from each end shows inside the

turnbuckle body. Before you continue (SEE WIRE ROPE ASSEMBLY DETAIL SHEET & DIM

SHEET) for more information. Complete wire rope assemblies as shown on wire rope assembly

sheet. Hook turnbuckles to turnbuckle plate & install the other end of wire assemblies to outer set of

holes on the antenna boom (SEE DIM SHEET).

The inner overhead boom support system uses 5/16” Dacron rope & eyebolts (3/8” X 6”). Install

eyebolts to inner eyebolt hole set on antenna boom. Use a 2nd turnbuckle plate and the 2 more

turnbuckles and secure the upper end of the Dacron to your mast (SEE DIM SHEET). Remember to

open turnbuckles until just a thread or two from each end shows inside the turnbuckle body. After

final installation, do any minor boom straightening with the turnbuckles. Cut off any excess over one

foot long. Pull on the knots HARD to SET then use black vinyl electricians tape and tape excess

cord back to main cord. Seal ends with heat or flame to prevent fraying. Then safety wire to prevent

changes to settings.

11. Install side guy support system. Use supplied Kevlar (1/8” X 120’) and cut as needed to get 4

Kevlar pieces for your side support system (SEE DIMENSION SHEET FOR MORE INFORMATION).

12. THIS COMPLETES THE ASSEMBLY. When the antenna is installed in position on the mast, the

main feedline can be attached and sealed at that time. REMEMBER to support the feedline at the

antenna boom and on the mast. Leave an adequate feedline loop for rotation around the tower.

Mount horizontally polarized VHF and UHF antennas at least 40” above or below this antenna to

minimize interaction.
