What is the general rule of thumb when raising antennas higher as far as
resonant frequency goes? Should the resonant frequency increase or decrease?
I'm talking about going from about 10 feet to 80 feet. How much change
should I see (khz) for a shorty forty? I know I could tip it straight up to
get a better idea of resonant freak, but I was just curious. Right now it's
resonant at about 7300 khz (402CD).

Thanks, Matt
