Need loaded coil diameter info. Can't down load ARRL off the internet for loaded coil dimensions, all other ways weren't working either. On the 5/8 wave 6m antenna I did find something that said 10" dia??? - 5" tall with 14 GA wire. From the internet plans G3JVL I had gone off of it was more like 1/2"dia - 5"tall with 14 ga. Almost everything off the internet...height, radials, loded coil were wrong surprised it's made out of tubing they got right!! Can I get a verification on the 10" so I can refit it...Thanks on the other dimensions I will refit those too. You have been a Great help.
