i had those numbers also for the gamma dog bone. i measured bottom of ring to bottom of d.b. i basically had 36 5/8"

my gamma for L2 was 25"

my tip length, i was always going for total to try and match a wavelength at 7/8, 3/4, maybe i should try 5/8 if those don't work tomorrow.

what is the correct way to measure it? i have always measured from the bottom of the ring.

so, if my radials are correct, and my gamma is in range, then i would try to set my main radiator at 30ft 1-9/32 inches to get a 7/8 wave radiator.

which seems to be what the basic length of this antenna is.
