Default Changing dipole resonance by changing one leg?

How effective is it to cut a one-band dipole for the highest frequency

Still the same band, right? Try it; I think you'll find it works
well. Though it unbalances the leg length slightly, you probably
won't notice much difference between lengthening one leg or equally
lengthening both. It may be possible for you to try equally
lengthening both just to see, if you care.

Cheers,
Tom
