As the saying goes: YMMV...!

I have Yagi's for 40 through 6m, but for 80m I use 4" spaced OWL feeding the
copperweld about 600 feet away from my house. The spacers for the OWL is
made from plastic coat  hangers.

Hi Tommy

I think the design for the antenna they were talking about used 3 wires as a 
skeleton slot type.  One was fed and the other 2 were parasitics to give the 
antenna a wide bandwidth. That would probably take wider spacers.  73
