Regarding cutting a dipole:
I use an MFJ-259B SWR VHF/HF SWR Analyzer and that is one of the best
investments I have ever made. It tells you the resonant frequency of the
antenna, impedance, and SWR and it is so easy, thast it takes all the
work out of the trumming and cutting and the Biggie is: YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TRANSMIT ON THE AIR, even though the band has been so dead from this
area.
My opinion, for what it is worth.
