Spacing for power handling right. I believe 6 inch was used because of long
distant runs say 300 feet or more. To the antennas back in the horse and buggy
days, I mean Model T days. They used High impedance antennas because they had
to run feed line for long distances.
You might want to float a 10M loop on the inside of that and/or what ever band
your having a hard time tuneing it on, and see if it improves things. Put it
in like a quad element hanging on ropes tune it but do not tie it to the feed
line. That way you will not have to build an ex-stream tuner.
