assemble the entire antenna and mounting pole and t&k brackets while it is still on the ground and lean it against a fence then connect it up and adjust the length of the antenna for lowest SWR reading between channel 1 and 40 UK , then when u have fixed your t&k brackets to the house attatch the pole with it slid down low then attatch antenna and coax then slide the pole up to hight and tighten . Earth wire is not essential but could be done at the CB end of coax with an adaptor if you feel you need lightening protection.
