With the down-lead disconnected, one lead of the ohm meter goes to the antenna boom. the other lead goes to a phase line, then the other. There should be infinite resistance indicated in each case.

This test can be at the time of assembly, before the mast is mounted or grounded, or with the antenna attached to a grounded mast.
