Thanks, That's what I was looking for. so I can use the antenna with
1/4 - 3/4 or center loaded.


Note that is 1/4WL which is 1/6 distance (16.67%) from
the ends. It is *NOT* 1/4 of the antenna. Hint: There are
six 1/4WLs in a 3/2WL antenna.

Would the off-center setting create another resonant frequency for the
antenna?


Nothing changes much. The radiation pattern will favor the
long side of the antenna. Since the currents are unbalanced
there may be an abundance of feedline radiation.
