I hope this is a wifes tale that has long been discredited. Trimming cable
changes the impedance seen by the transmitter with no change to SWR.


However, a 50 ohm SWR meter reading will change as one changes the
length of the ladder-line. When the 50 ohm SWR meter reads 1:1,
the transmitter is seeing 50 ohms. That's how I tune my dipole.
