Using formula 234/freq for a 1/4 wave vertical with 4 radials I was building gave me a wire length of 16 feet 6 and 1/8 inches. Nano vna gave swr of 2.3 (too high for my qrp station) so tried to find out whether to shorten or lengthen wire. How can I use the nano vna to help with the direction to go. eventually lengthened by 6 inches which brought swr down to 1.3.
As a newbe to short wave radio tx/rx and to nano vna can anyone help with an easy to follow method to use my nano vna for wire adjustment direction. Thanks but difficult just now after suffering 2 strokes so hence the need for help here.
Thanks and 73 to all who read this.
