It works a lot better to find the frequency of minimum SWR and then it is a simple matter to calculate how much to prune. For example, if the frequency is 10% too low, say 1647 kHz, then remove 10% of the wire to move to 1830 kHz. Merely knowing the SWR at 1830 kHz doesn't tell you with any precision how much wire to remove. Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
