If you are looking for the length of the loops in addition to the spacing the 2 meter DB224's I just put up had 37 inch loops on a 22 ft mast. The factory element spacing was not consistent so you should definitely check your spacing per the dimensions Russ gave. I have one 150 mhz DB224 and it has 35 inch loops on an 18 ft mast.
