Can I
expect the SWR curve to go higher in frequency as I go from 17 feet to the
final height of about 58 feet ?

Hi Ralph,

Such questions always deserve answers by degree. Yes, sort of. Let's
say you stand to observe less difference from 17 to 58 feet than from
3 feet to 17 feet.

Try the short cut of tuning the antenna pointing straight up (at
whatever short height).

Your BalUn is probably OK.
