I'm trying to tune a 2 mtr, 3 element beam that has a gamma match.
After connecting the coax to the driven element & adjusting the
matching unit, where should the coax exit in relation to the boom & the
elements? Should it travel along the boom or drop straight down next to
the driven
element? Any assistance concerning the above would be most appreciated.
Thank You.


I have always run mine below the boom to the mast and then down the
mast, into a drip loop and below the rotor, making sure there is
enough room to turn the rotor without stretching the coax out of the
drip loop.

I forgot to mention that this antenna is being used for 2 mtr FM. If i
drop the coax down vertically it will touch the driven element as well
as the matching unit.
