LARC Spiderbeam assembly instructions.

Before you start, remember this: This beam has been assembled before which means if something does not fit, you do NOT have it in the correct place or position. The antenna consists of the center post with balun mounted, center post extension, fiberglass spreaders and 4 spools with supports and elements.
