Topband: FW: Tuning 160M Dipole

[Peter Voelpel]

I would rather guess you should short it by at least 4-6 foot per side.
Easiest way is to check for the resonant frequency and short accordingly.

I put up a 160m dipole but now need to tune it. SWR at low end of band is
abt 3 and at top end abt 5. From what I have read this means I need to
shorten it. My question is how much should I take off? A foot off each end??
Any good links to sites that may explain this in some detail so I can learn?

Tu and 73
