om...
I plan on installing a G5RV mini. Due to limited space I would need to
cut off about 2 feet from the antenna.
I was wondering how much would this effect the antennas performance
and should I trim equal ends off the span or just take the 2 feet from
one end.

Thanks in advance

Tom


It would be better to let the ends droop or bend the ends in other
directions rather than cutting it. A mini is already probably as short as
is reasonable to make one.
