Measure the half driver wire using the length found on the Specifications page. Include the
ring terminal in the measurement and also add 1/2 inch for bending the other end into an "L"
shape for insertion into the center post terminal. Repeat this for the other half driver wire for
10 meters.
Then measure out the reflector wire per the Specifications page and solder a ring terminal
on each end. Include these ring terminals in the measurement.
A good way to handle the measurement process is to use a nail in a board so you can
anchor the wire while stretching it out on the floor or driveway.

Be very careful with the measurements. It is not fun to have to solder a piece back in that was
mistakenly cut off. So remember the old carpenter's adage;
Measure once; cut twice or measure twice and cut once.
