[TowerTalk] hairpin

[Don Havlicek]

Just measured mine.

The 'loop' is 25.5 inches either side of the boom attachment point, thus 
is 51 inches overall.

The shape is almost a continuous curve from driven element attachment 
point to boom attachment point EXCEPT the first 3 inches [nearest the 
driven element] at quite 'straight' with a bend at the 3 inch point.
