This is the replacement: an 11-foot length of the same 450-ohm window line, ready to land on the two feedpoint terminals and run straight down to your ladder-line-to-PL-259 adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#1a1a1a;border-left:4px solid #B8960C;padding:18px 22px;margin:0 0 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;color:#B8960C;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:1px;\"\u003eIn the Bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#e8e8e8;\"\u003eOne 11-foot length of 450-ohm ladder line, and three stand-off spacers.

A 33 up with 8 down is 41 feet of antenna from a 33-foot footprint. \u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/4-extension-kit-dx-flagpole-vertical-antenna\" style=\"color:#b8960c;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe extension, both positions →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;color:#1a1a1a;margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eOne wire to each feedpoint terminal; either way round is fine, but the longer (upper) element should end up on the coax center conductor — check with an ohmmeter, swap the leads at the adapter if not. Keep the line off the ground and a few inches clear of the pole and any metal with the six spacers; the ladder line is part of the antenna. All five ferrites go on the coax pushed up against the adapter connector. \u003ca href=\"\/de\/pages\/first-tune-up-checklist\" style=\"color:#b8960c;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe first tune-up, six checks →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;color:#888;margin:0 0 20px;\"\u003eOrdering the 4' Extension at the same time?
