Spring / Summer backyard tower project

[Rob_Walker]

I think this is where my inexperience got the best of me because I was thinking backwards trying to tune this.  The manual clearly states, trimming the spokes raises the resonant frequency.  Since I have no resonance in the 20M band, and I discovered 1.29 @ 13.306, I should be able to raise this to 14.150 MHz by trimming the radials for the 20M band.  There are four 15" spokes.

I read on eHam, plus I may have heard from Tom or John, I can get pretty close to the resonance I want by laying this on the ground on an angle.  It would save my wife and myself wrestling this up and down every time I make a change.
