hello Paul,
I quite agree with Peter's (DJ7WW) advice, but instead of shortening the ends I would first fold them (tightly) back and check the result... "overshooting" can easily be corrected before finally cutting the wires...
success

Uli, DJ2YA

Subject: Topband: Tuning 160M Dipole




I put up a 160m dipole but now need to tune it. SWR at low end of band is abt 3 and at top end abt 5. From what I have read this means I need to shorten it. My question is how much should I take off? A foot off each end?? Any good links to sites that may explain this in some detail so I can learn?

Tu and 73
