SWR Tells Me??
OK, I misunderstood.

Adding some length to the long leg would be relatively easy, BUT
moving the feed point would be a real challenge! The coax shield and
center conductor are soldered to the ladder line wires. When I tuned
a j-pole in my work shop, tiny movements made a change amd
maintaining the position while trying to get it soldered was nearly
impossible. (At least for my clumsy fingers.) Is there a better way
to connect the feed point?
Thanks, jimbo
Jimbo, you just added another variable to the discussion. Please
describe the details of the coax to ladder line and ladder line to
antenna for us.
Sorry for the confusion. The ladder line is the j-pole antenna. Cut to
the appropriate length, etc. The coax feed line is attached to the "J"
near the bottom, maybe 2 inches up.
Thanks, jimbo
