[Elecraft] KX3: LNRPrecision EndFedz EF-10/20/40KMII Antenna SWR tuning

[Joe W2KJ]

I've trimmed several PAR EFHW antennas over the past few years and don't cut anymore...I just fold the wire back on itself essentially shortening or lengthening the wire until I hit the sweet spot.

Saves some heartburn if you make a mistake and "take a little too much off of the top" (grin).
