I was trying to find simple instructions from someone who had done a few of these to make sure I set it up right. I remember seeing a post or thread by Masterchief were he detailed all his little tricks for this antenna. I also have another question, should I run my ground wire to the top of my mast or to the bottom of the antenna? Is this antenna insolated from the mast or should I do something to insolate it? Thanks guys.

If that mast is metal, why bother running a ground line anyway? Ground the mast at the bottom. That ground is a 'safety ground', doens't have anything to do with RF.
