Interesting. Recently I tried to shorten my 80 meter dipole by wrapping the
end . It is bare wire, and when I calculated how much I'd have to wrap, it
actually moved it up a lot farther than I anticipated. Does the end effect
of wrapping effect the length, even if it is bare wire? Does the wrap add
inductance or something? Thanks and 73
