I don't know why the instruction drawings weren't full size templates, they are just slightly larger than the finished parts.
I redrew them in the correct size on the instruction sheet.
Some scrap 3/32" thick basswood was sanded down to the 1/16" thickness needed.
The antennas (before cutting off the tapered top) start as a 11/64" square.
The strip was set on my machine square and the end sanded at a 90 degree angle.
I slid the strip to the right and drew a pencil line for the root edge.
The right side was sanded to a sharp wedge shape, the pencil line was left at the 1/16" thickness.
In the end, the antenna will be cut off on that pencil line.
