Joe is correct, I am talking about the elements "horizontal" alignment on
the Navassa 5. I believe the user must align all elements "horizontally"
ourselves and I don't enjoy that procedure because my yard is unlevel and
it's time consuming to try and get the elements aligned so they are in-line
horizontally. The Force 12 & Skyhawk antennas have the elerment mounting
holes pre-drilled for the element "horizontal" alignment.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I think Dick is referring to *horizontal* (level) alignment of
the elements - not "tuning" the elements for SWR/Frequency. A
saddle with no reference point results in a physically "non-flat"
antenna where as some other manufacturers provide element mounting
that is factory aligned so all the elements are in the same plane.
