Here is the best I could do, no assembly pics but here is my beautiful ANT751 against the majestic sky collecting HD TV radio waves;

I used Radio Shack twinlead about 24" and just soldered spade connectors on the end where it attaches to the antenna and soldered it to the balun on the other end. You can see the balun just peaking out from behind the J-pole. I also shrink wrapped every thing to make it secure and CAT5 hurricane rated as it gets really windy on my roof.

From what I understand from reading various websites is that the wire dropping directly way from the boom is the best configuration to maximize reception. It definitely made a difference on my TV even though I did it because of the wind. Good luck, I hope that helps and please report back your results.
