    The document provides instructions for installing and using a Diamond HF Dipole Antenna model WD330S. It should be installed horizontally high above the ground for best performance. To verify proper impedance matching, transmit low power and check that reflected power reads less than 5 watts on a directional wattmeter. If not, adjust the antenna placement or configuration and recheck. The antenna is designed to provide broadband performance from 2-26.6 MHz with a maximum power handling of 150 watts.
