Dear Phil;


Comtek suggests 10 feet of dacron rope at the insulator, which leaves
about 9+ feet from tower leg to the upper wire antenna. The feedpoint can
be pulled out the proper diagonal, via a dacron rope at the current
balun. Measure half the diagonal in Instruction Manual chart, from tower
and stake mark, and repeat three times. 
The distance on the ground  from feedpoint to feedpoint, is the same
spacing if  vertical to vertical array was used.
