Dave,
If you are primarily a CW op then you are not going to grt much
I've trimmed several PAR EFHW antennas over the past few years and don't cut
anymore...I just fold the wire back on itself essentially shortening or
lengthening the wire until I hit the sweet spot.
Saves some heartburn if you make a mistake and take a little too much off of
the top (grin).
It is common for antennas to be cut a little long, because it is easier to
remove wire than to add it. It looks like your antenna is resonant at or a
little below the end of each band, so you'll need to shorten it.
The instructions for your antenna explain how to do this. See the section take
Dave,
If you are primarily a CW op then you are not going to grt much better. If
you.operate mostly. SSB them you may want to shorten it. If you want to split
the difference then you have shorten it less than if you were optimize it for
phone. LNR does not recommend using a tuner although i
