I wouldn't lose any sleep over that match... 1.5:1 is perfectly
acceptable... and not worth the effort to reduce further.

The antenna seems to be alittle short for pure CB purposes. I get a
1.1:1 match at 27.750, and a 1.5:1 match at 26.965. No matter how
much I turn the rings, the SWR changes only a little.
Has anyone experimented with putting a different top whip on this
antenna? A 102" whip would add 8" of length, thus bringing my SWR
curve down to 1:1 on channel 1. In theory, it should work.
