Default Changing dipole resonance by changing one leg?

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

frequencies?

It works. You are not shifting the center point of the dipole
enough to really cause any problems as far as balance, etc.
I do it all the time with portable dipoles.
