[TowerTalk] Will Resonance Go Up or Down?

[ersmar at comcast.net]

Doug:

     The resonant freq should INCREASE, but by how much is anyone's guess.  However, I, too, have a D40 and found that its resonant freq and BW were exactly according to specs in the assembly manual.  Check the lengths of the various element components against the manual (paper or on-line) if you have forgotten them and then verify the resonant freq from the table that's included with the instructions.
