location for the outside edge of the element clamp on the REAR DRIVEN ELEMENT assembly with a marking 
pen or pencil.  Install the REAR DRIVEN ELEMENT as you did for the REFLECTOR Make sure you follow the 
element placement on the DIMENSION SHEET.  Continue installing the rest of the elements in the same 
fashion.  After all of the elements have been installed take a couple of steps back and look down from the end of 
the antenna.  Check to see if the elements are lined up with one another.  If any need to be fixed, simply loosen 
the saddles, straighten, and re-tighten.
