EACH ANCHOR AT A QUADRANT AND AT A DISTANCE 11 FEET FROM THE MAST LOCATION.
NEXT, SECURE THE GUY ROPES AND ADJUST THE MAST USING A LEVEL SO THAT IT
MAINTAINS A VERTICAL STANCE.  NOW, ROUTE THE FIRST LOOP WIRE THROUGH ONE OF
THE COUPLING LINKS SO THAT THE PHASING DOT IS ORIENTED TO THE ANCHOR SIDE
OF THE LOOP.  NEXT, SPLICE THE TWO ENDS OF THE LOOP WIRE TO FORM AN ENDLESS
LOOP AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 9.  THEN, TAKE A SHORT SECTION OF GUY ROPE AND
PREPARE A LOOP TETHER AND SECURE THE TETHER TO ONE OF THE ANCHORS.  REPEAT
THESE STEPS TO PREPARE THE SECOND LOOP AND POSITION IT SO THAT IT IS IN THE
SAME PLANE AS THE FIRST LOOP.  ADJUST THE LOOP TETHERS TO ENSURE THE MAST
CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN ITS VERTICAL STANCE.  NOW LOCATE A PAIR OF COUPLER
STAKES THAT WILL SUPPORT THE LOOP FEED AND COUPLING LINKS.  POSITION EACH
OF THESE AT A LINK DISTANCE OF 60 INCHES FROM THE MAST.  SECURE THE LOOP
FEED FOR EACH LOOP TO THE COUPLER STAKE AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 10.  YOU MAY USE
ANY SUITABLE LENGTH OF COAX CABLE, ALTHOUGH IT IS IMPORTANT THAT BOTH LOOP
FEEDS BE IDENTICAL.  IN THIS ARRAY, I USED AN 8 FOOT RG 6 CABLE 75 WITH F
TYPE CONNECTORS FOR EACH OF THE LOOP FEEDS.  CONNECT A REFERENCE LINE, IN
