It's pretty early in the morning, but isn't that what the original
poster wants? To make an antenna physically shorter than normal?
If so, loading coils are the correct option. My only question is
who would need to physically shorten a UHF antenna in the first
place?

Loading coils do NOT shorten an antenna! They electrically
lengthen an antenna that is already physically too short.

What do you really want to accomplish?

Hi All,

At 433 MHz UHF, I need to reduce the lenght of the dipole using
loading
coils or a better method.

I need to know if there is a antenna program or a method to
determine
values and location.

tnx de KJ4UO.
