I have a 160 meter vertical (ground plane) that now resonates on 1530 KHz.
I want to put a capacitor at the feed point to raise resonance to 1830 KHz.

Don't forget to put a static bleed choke or resistor from the 
vertical to ground if you are using just a series capacitor from the 
vertical to the feedpoint.
