GUY ANTENNA MILITARY
If you want to use it with a wartime antenna rod and MP48-A base: use only 3 antenna rods and pull down slightly to the rear by using only one rope. This to prevent damage to the porcelain of the antenna base.

Installation notes
The guy rope is attached to the top of the whip antenna and led under tension to a fixed point on the vehicle. When using three antenna sections: guy lightly rearward to avoid overloading the ceramic base (MP-48-A). Use only during transport or parking — not during radio operation.
Historical context
During WWII, guying of vehicle antennae was rarely applied during operational use, as this interfered with reception. Guy ropes were primarily used during long-distance transport or for heavier mast antennae at fixed installations.
