I knew I read about that someplace. changing the length of feed line, in my opinion, has always been an issue.

It's not as bad a picture as you are painting. If you have problems and want to solve them by longer feedline, then you typically need just 1/8 wavelength on the band in question; /archives//html/TenTec/2013-07/msg00250.html (11,059 bytes)
