Hi.

I forgot to mention the reason why I made them perpendicular to each 
other.  It is very simple, really.  When they are perpendicular, there is 
almost no coupling between the antennas, and that greatly simplifies tuning 
the antennas for resonance on 3800 KHz and 7100 KHz.  If you fan them, they 
will interact with each other a little, and you'll end up fudging the 
tuning a little.  They still work, but keeping them perpendicular is just 
easier and cleaner.
