How To Tune A 10 Meter Dipole

The Technician class has access to a part of the 10 meter amateur radio band. They can operate CW, digital and phone. Antennas for 10 meters are small and easy to build. A dipole antenna is one of the easiest antennas to build. The length of the dipole is 468/ frequency in MHz. I made this antenna for 28.3 MHz, which made the antenna 16.5 feet long. I now show you how to tune the dipole using a MFJ antenna analyzer. I used this formula to figure out the correction: New length = (Measured resonant frequency / desired frequency ) * current length of the antenna.
