now! I put the 10m driver (#6) together and THOUGHT I counted 4 holes in the tip of the element. The manual says there is an adjustment of +/- 2 holes so I left 2 holes exposed thinking this would move the resonant point to 28.30 (28.800 - 2 x 250kHz). Now I'm putting the 15meter driver together and I KNOW it has 4 holes in the tip of the element. As I am deciding where I want to set it (125kHz per hole) I realize that 2 holes in the larger element and 4 in the smaller part only gives me an adjustment of +/- one! Hmmm. That is the same thing I had on the 10meter driver - wasn't it? Before I drill the rivets on the 10m element to see if there are really 5 holes, can someone tell me for sure how many holes are in the tip of the 10m driver (#6)? If there are only 4, how the heck do I get +/- 2 holes of adjustment?
