Hi Jeff,

I have some questions relative to the grabbitears antenna:

1) The distance between the phase lines (feed lines) is 1-3/4", correct?

2) The phase lines are 7 inches long and the whiskers + fractals are 14", correct?

3) It appears that you have varying connections between the phase line and fractals. On one side, the feed line is bolted to the inside of the phase line and the other side is bolted to the outside of the phase line. This orientation changes between the top fractal pair and bottom fractal pair, correct?

4) On a different forum, I saw where you stated that you made a loop at the middle connections and at the fractal connections. Are you still making the antenna the same way? Could you show a picture of your loops prior to attaching the phase line to the fractals/whiskers?

5) If your making loops in the phase line, what is the actual distance between fractal pairs in the vertical direction?

Thanks and God Bless!

Rick
