initial proper rivet holes for the tip have one hole outside the .500" section. Double check the drawing to ensure the proper holes are used. The outside hole and inside hole are used for making slight VSWR slewing adjustments if needed to shift the curve up or down." If one follows this direction, the length for the tip section (.375" OD) does not agree with the drawing, i. e., 30.5". Assembling the tip with ALL 3 rivet holes aligned results in a 30.5" length. Since it is MUCH easier to fix things on the ground than standing 90 feet up the tower, I'd like to know which instruction to follow. Am I mis-understanding something here? I prefer the antenna to be tuned for CW, but I gather that tuning on 20 meters is done by adjusting the spacing between turns on the hairpin coil, rather than element lengths. Any guidance will be appreciated. 73 de Chas W5DV -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
