It is mounted atop two Radio Shack mast sections, 6 meters above ground. An 1"1/2 x 1"1/8 cylinderical aluminum bolt was fabricated and tapped for 3/8"-24. This was press-fitted in the upper mast section and used to secure the coil to the mast with a 3/8"-24 stud. The 6 through 160 meter amateur bands are fully tunable.

A 2 meter square loop is mounted below the coil. A surrounding metal roof "panorama" to the east and south east adds a conductive high angle take-off to an otherwise unobstructed radiative pattern.
