I do recall seing cap hats on other 5/8 wave designs...

I'll rebuild the classic design again and start over.

Ground elements will be 38.4 end to end and the radiating element will be 48 inches long (The ARRL text says to make it 47 inches long, however).

The coil will be 10.5 turns around 3/4 inch PVC (24.75 inches of wire) and tapped about 4 turns from the top (The ARRL text shows the tap at 3.75 turns from the top).
