It goes OVER the boom-to-mast clamp parallel to the boom. It just doesn't take a tight turn there. It keeps going off the back and then makes a graduate loop back to the boom. -- Mark D.

I am ready to hang my LEO pack but I would appreciate some clarification on routing the coax off of the beams. The instructions read:

"Allow coax to hang in a loop between the rear end of the boom and the reattachment point (at least 12" beyond the element tips) on the mast or cross boom. Do not route feed line to boom-to-mast plate as exiting antenna here will adversely affect circular field."

In the first sentence they say to hang the loop from the rear end of the boom but in the second sentence they say not run the feed line to the boom-to-mast plate...which is at the rear end of the boom.

Anything anyone can share to help my simple mind understand what works will be greatly appreciated.
