Just a quick update on the below:
I was able to contact Bill Sattler, N0XX and he was able to clarify for
me which manual was the correct manual for the antenna I have. So I
will now complete the assembly and tuning of this 8 element 6 meter
antenna and get it on the tower. Thanks to everyone for the bandwidth
and the replies.

I have a query for the group,
I have a 6 meter antenna made by DX Engineering. It is a 6DX8, 8 element
yagi on a 35+ foot boom. The problem is, I have two instruction manuals
with two sets of dimensions. One manual has a date on the drawing of 11
Jan 1990, the other is not dated. I sent an email to Dick Ewing, KO7N
and Bill Sattler, N0XX via their addresses on QRZ, but both bounced as
non-deliverable. I also tried the phone number on the manual, but it has
been disconnected. As most of you are aware, the DX Engineering I am
referring to is not the same DX Engineering that exists today in Ohio.
The company "DX Engineering" that made this antenna was located in
Oregon. I would like to know if anyone has one of these antennas and/or
any information on getting in touch with either of these gentlemen?
