I used a labeler to number all my element sets for both bands. Makes it a lot easier to set up because I don’t have to repeatedly ppmeasure things to get the right sizes for each position. One through seven for the 70 cm side one through three for the 2 m side, 10 and four if using the Alaskan version. It helps so much.

Hi Richard,
Make doubly sure the element you have installed opposite the driven element is the correct matching element, i.e., exactly the same length. They are all close to the same length and it's easy to get them confused. It sounds like, if it's not the correct element, you have one that's a little too short. Worth checking again...
