Well I have a Maco v58 cb/10 meter antenna that I want to use on 6m
I had some aluminum tubing that fit the radials so I was able to bring the length down to 52" with out cutting the original tubing
I started at 130" long on the antenna length, BUT according to the analyzer it was resonating at around 38Mhz (and it had a nice near flat SWR around 24.000 Mhz... that makes NO sense as is a little less than 235"
SO I collapsed the antenna several more feet and NOW its around 48.00 MHz, SO WHAT IS GOING ON HERE
at this point is is WAY shorter than a 5/8 wave 6m antenna SHOULD BE
