Good question. Like i said this was my first. and i really dont know if I should of added the Diameter of the wood to each of the elements. All i know is that this was my first and it exceeded my expectations about 100 times. I went from reading all these numbers and not knowing a thing, to putting this thing together for about 15 bucks, and hearing some very good quality transmissions.
