Creative Design Corp.1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
‘The CREATE antenna, model 730V-x or 730V-1A is s horizontal polarization V type dipole antenna of multiband for HF band,
with which is adjustable V angle, The operating frequency band contains 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz (and SOMH2) for 730V-1
(730-1) in the meanwhile 730V2 is for 7, 21 and 28 MHz (and SOMHz) for 730V-IA, which is the trap for 14 MH is
removed from 730V-1 (aad 730V-1A). Trap elements of the mdiaior are used for frequency selection, Each band resonates
with the electrical length of half Lambda(half wave). As T30V-x(A) antenna is designed for such a limited space in where the
rotating radius js small, and so it is upwardly slanted either 90 or 140 degree relative fo the horizontal and vertical planes atthe
center of radiator element, limiting variation of input impedance due to surrounding metal objets, For those who has a better
installtion coneition can expand its V angle wider by elther 140 or 180 degree. Low lors traps and loading capacitors are
‘employed for keeping good radiation eficierey of the antenna. A broadband balun is used atthe input section of the antenna
for preventing undesired radiation and for securing a good radiation pattem, (See T7802 in atached page for details of balun
transformer)

SOMHz kit (786C).1.4 INSTALLATION SITE
‘A variety of installing conditions. are available for CD
730V-x(A) antenna when compared with « general horizontal
dipole antenna. To ensure satisfactory performance of the
antenna, ‘better installation condition is required that its
installing site must carefully be selected Some preferable
‘xamples of such installation is ilustated in Figure 3.
Installing on the ground or the building surrounded adversely
4 tiled wall or roof influences a little wo the antenna
performances, If it is set up near it, good performance can be
secured. When the antenra is set up on the roof top of
concrete stee! building, adjustment is needed so us to have
the best directionality,

1.5 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT, BUT NOT SUPPLIED
‘The following listed equipments are required for assembling
‘model 730V-x(A):
1) Philip Head Serew Driver
2) Spanner Wrench, for O.D. 7, 10, 13mm Serew
3) Measurement Ruler
4) Coaxial Cable and M-Connectors
5) Adhesive Vinyl Tape
6) 42-61mm Stee! Tube for Antenna Mast
1.8 ASSEMBLY
Pease see the parts list in paragraph 1.3A for the details of
antenna parts supplied. Check if all of the parts are supplied
completed. If any defective parts or missing are found,
follow the Instructions for the warranty. The completed
730V-x(A) is shown in Figure 4, and the dewils of the
assembling of each portion in Figure S. Iti recommended to
apply an silicone grease of machinery grease in tubing
Insertions for protect the rust fiom electrolytic corrosion and
proper directivity in the trap instalation, be sure that train
hole of the trap is facing downward, Securely tighten the
screws and bolts but do not overtighten them till tubing is
getting deformed as it will make reduce the mechanical
strength of antenna as a result, Mount the balun Fl after
antenna is mounted and fixed on the mast tubing for
protecting balun from accidental strike damage during
holiting process, Wrap vinyl tape around the input comector

1.1A GENERAL
This 730V-xA is the antenna in which radiator clement for SOMHL2 is bullt nin the HF V-diple antenna model 730V-x. Refer to
Section 1.1~1,6 regarding characteristic for HF band. ‘The characteristic of this antenna for SOMHz js a figure & directivity pattern
and is horizonially polarized. ‘The construction of the clement for SOMH2 is that the SOMI» of riator element is horizontally
‘mounted ln purallel in the HF radiatior clement, and is separated from HF element DC eleetically (oes not contact with each
‘other electrially), The charwtriatic of the VSWR jn the both bunds are independent with each other, therefore the performance of
HF is consequently not interfered with SOMHE either.
1.24 ASSEMBLY
Fig. 6 shows construction of SOMHz section of 730V=xA. The radiator clement for SOMHz shall be mouited to the proper postion
of HF clement (nesr balun) with insulator kit. Blefore mounting it to the elmert, select an appropriate frequency you wish most
since band determination either Low (50.0-51.7MH) or High (50.5~52.0MHz) is selectable for your application,
ASSEMBLING STEP: 1) Assembie the insulator kit and mount them(1)-(4) on the HF elements (Refer Sec-A, Drawing)
2) Insert element tube (6) into tubing hole of insulatce (3). In this stage, let insulator remain free (Do
‘ot fit mounting seew (82) yet in the insulator (3),
3) Fix center section with the element strap (5) and screw as shown in Sec-B, drawing. Either Low ot
High band frequency is selectable at this stage
NOTE: TIGHTEN WOUNTING THE SOREWS FOR INSULATORS (1) AND (2) AT AN APPROPRIATE STRENGTH, DO NOT
COVERT GHTEN THEM TILL BOTH ARE TWE STED.
