2-11. Operation Under Unusual Conditions
a. The AS-3166/GRC can be installed on utility poles
and buildings by using adjustable automotive hose clamps
to secure to other poles.
CAUTION
Always use the 30 inch insulating mast
section (fig. 2-9) with this antenna.
b. Camouflage Pattern Painting. Consult Training Circular
(TC) 5-200, Camouflage Pattern Painting for method
and application of camouflaging military equipment.
c. Soil Problems. It is difficult to anchor an antenna mast
in loose sand and soft clay soil. Stakes driven into sand
TM 11-5985-357-13
and soft clay are easily loosened and pulled out by winds
of moderate velocities. Keep the antenna mast guys evenly
taut at all times; but allow for expansion/contraction
(para 2-5 b). If stakes driven into poor soil do not hold,
some means of anchoring the stake will have to be used. A
suitable weight such as a large rock or tree should be placed
on top of the stake to anchor it. If in the field and no
other expedient is available, use heavy tools or equipment
to anchor the stakes. Often it is practical to use a large
screw anchor (C, fig. 2-22) or preferably a dead-man anchor
(A, fig. 2-22) instead of the stake to secure the guy
wires of the antenna mast. A rock anchor (B, fig. 2-22)
may be required for use where rock extends to the surface.
