[TowerTalk] Resonance of loaded Parasitic Elements

[K&L]

Hi All , I am in the process of building a loaded two element 40 beam. I
have the driven element finished and its total length is 43` it is resonate
@ 7.150. What would the most practical way to tune the reflector be ? Should
I split & insulate the reflector , mount it on the boom and check the
resonate frequency ?  Is  5 %  longer a good length ? I am not quite sure of
the best way method to use .  Would like to get some input on this .
