If you enjoy lowering your SWR below 2:1, go for it. If you
think it will help the ham on the other end copy you better,
you are, as someone has said before, picking fly spots out
of black pepper.

Cecil,

You are correct but many of us tend to get obsessive about SWR. The
enemy of good is better and many of us have wasted hours trying to make
a good antenna better. It is part of being a ham.
