Discone help

[vanderneut]

I am in Iraq right now but still have my scanner handy. I have time on my hands and I am interested in building a discone. I have couple questions. Do you have to cut the elements to the freq. you want to monitor? Also, how do you hook it up to the coax? I imagine that the horizontal elements are pullged into the center wire and the diagonal elements are plugged into the shield. Am I correct? If not pelase square me away.
