I have had to adjust my calculations as well. As stated in a previous post, I had to enter the center frequency 1 mhz lower then the center freq I wanted ie channel 6: 27.025mhz Moxgen: 26.025mhz. I also used insulated wire and staying cheap I cut up an old plastic gallon milk jug as the insulating pieces in the center. I also never used fiberglass or anything for the spreaders. I had it all suspended using nylon rope at each corner. Also stated earlier was relationship of coax as its hung from the wire. You want that perpendicular and in the same horizontal plane as the wire. Try it out, with the coax and moving it while watching your MFJ. The antenna works and its very efficient, plus its super cheap.
