Channel Jumper-

You can get parts measurements for the various Ringo antennas at the
CushCraft website (Now part of MFJ!). For the Ten Meter version,
http://www.cushcraftamateur.com/Product.php?productid=AR-10. A user
manual is available by clicking on "AR-10 Downloads". I do not see a
Stub length given for the AR-10, but the AR-6 manual has a chart.

It's in the manual.. Was about 16.5 inches long with the RG-8
they use. They don't give the dia for the single turn coil,
but I've built a few of those, and used 18-20 inches or so dia.
Not real critical being it will be tapped appx mid way for a coil
that diameter. 7.5 inches dia is too small for 10m. Even 10 inches
would likely be too small unless maybe you tapped it near the end,
using almost the whole coil. I don't think I'd make it any less
that 15-16 inches dia.
