Well, you lucked out.  I use to sell Larsens for years and never tried 
that.  As far as the instructions also showing six, they used the same 
sheet on all of their antennas, it depended on the model number.  An n m 
o 150 covered 144 to 172, but the sheet showed all of their models. 
I'll have to remember that trick though.  The n m o and n l a series 
weren't dc grounded as I recall.  Other models were shunt fed, and this 
probably wouldn't work.
