The elements are "solid rod" I believe. What are the consequences of not
changing the spacing, while cutting the elements to the right lengths?
Loss
of directivity would be my guess, but I'd still have a good radiator with
relatively low SWR?


Jason -

With solid rod elements - you are in a "measure at LEAST twice and cut once"
situation.

Most likely the directive lobe would not be optimized.
You can use antenna modeling software to see the specific results, BUT this
gets you on the air quickly.
