__ Before I try and re invent the wheel I thought I ask if anyone else has already did this or even if it could be done.
I have a 48 in Ant made by Antenex 5DB uhf Base that I plan on using on a repeater at 444.750 the actually ant is enclosed inside the fiberglass tube. The SWR Is High at 444.750 abut a 3 that would be ok in Most cases but not on the Repeater which wants to see very little SWR To duplex properly. So My thought is to get a Dremel cut and remove the tube from the bottom then remove it and get the Bird Wattmeter and Cut or add if needed the end of the rod to get the SWR Low as possible Then put it back together using JB- Weld or some type of Fiberglass repair kit.
