That was a misprint. The antenna is 33 ft tall.

The person I bought the MFJ-1793 from told me
he ordered an extra stand-off insulator, rod, and
coupler from MFJ to tune the side stub to 30M.
If I had any influence with MFJ I would tune
the attached side stub for 30M instead of 20M.

That is unfortunate. This looks like a good design
