Transmitting for adjustment should be carried cut in a short time with a lower power of ander SOW to avoid a possible disturbance to others.

(3) According to the TABLE A, adjust the length of the radials to get @ desired frequency. When you fix the-radials longer, the center frequency becomes lower. Conversely, when the radials shortened, the center frequency becoves higher. (4) When the V.SWR of center frequency is not sufficiently ow enough, further tunig can be done by adjusting the length of vertical Rediator Elements.
