The 20 meter wire/tip spacer assembly is shown here in the shape of the final hexagon only for illustrative
purposes to make it easier to see where the terminal strips are placed. After you have adjusted the tip
spacers, adjust the locations of the terminal strips as shown.
On the other bands, you will have only the tip spacers to adjust as there will be no other terminal strips
needed.

- Slip 6 terminal strips on the
reflector wire and one on each
driver wire; leave them loose for
now.
- Attach the wires to the Tip
Spacers.
- Set the space between wire tips to
24 inches.
- Slide the loose terminal strips to
128 inches as shown and tighten.
- As a check the total length from
lug to lug should be 7 X 128 = 896
inches.
