Trees are not air, they are conductive enough to provide some loading on the
vertical, the closer to the trees the worse it will be. so forget the
calculations now and just cut to tune where you want it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 80 meter vertical question
I have put up a 80 wire vertical in some trees seeing I do not have a tower.
I cut it 62ft6in so it should be on 3.750 however it seems long and the swr
is 1:1 at 3550 or so. I have 10 radials and my longer version worked just
fine. Any feedbck would be helpful.
