[Towertalk] Pruning a dipole

I am sorry to see that "pruning a dipole" appears to have gone the way of
CW.  It used to make a great rite of passage.

Frankly, no matter what the computer model says, I would STILL cut it longer
and trim it up, just to be safe, but then I'm an OT.  I think anyone who
thinks they can actually get it perfect the first time is in for
disappointment.

Has anyone figured out how to accurately model "end effect?"
