Hi Tom,
Go with the lengths in the manual. I'm not very familiar with the TH6 (I
have a TH7),
however, experience with yagis in general says that sometimes elements can
be shorter
or longer than one would think. With very close spacing, an element can
actually be
longer than the driven element for a director and shorter for the reflector.

Hello again,
In rebuilding/cleaning my TH6, I find a questionable
adjustment called out in the book. DE4 shows 32 1/4"
CW, 32 1/2" LO PHONE, 32" HI PHONE. Shouldn't the 32
1/4" figure be bigger since the frequency is going
lower? Also D3-3 uses 72 1/2" for CW & LO PHONE. All
the other lengths seem to fit, I.E., higher
freq=shorter length. What I was attempting to do was
pick a mid point from LO to HI PHONE, to adjust to,
(on DE4).
Is this a misprint or am I missing something?
Thanks Again!
Tom
