Default Impedance question

Hi de KJ4UO,

I have a MFJ-269 and I measured a value of 65 and j16 for my 6-meter
dipole, the dipole is a little long so I assume that the j16 is
inductive and I need to add a cap of equal reactive value.
Also, The measurement was taken directly at the antenna feedpoint
without any coax.

Once I back calculate the cap value ,should I place this cap across the
antenna input at the feed point or in series with the signal line of
the feed point to cancel out the j16 and leave me with 65 ohm
resistive?


tnx de KJ4UO
