Yes, I used a 2x2 rather than a 2x4. Didn't realize that that dimension was important, but again, I know nothing about antennas.
I painted the stick with nonconductive brass-colored paint. Don't think that's an issue.
It's easy enough to rebuild it tomorrow with a 2x4 in place of the 2x2 stick. If the difference between (nominal) 3.75 and 3.94 inches is critical, I can probably find something -- like a strip of cardboard -- to shim it up, at least for testing purposes.
Thanks for the advice!
