Subject: C3S - Adjusting 10m SWR curve ?

Marty:

I've never messed with a C3S, but I'll make the assumption that the 10m
driver is full size and has different length settings. You may have to
remove the rivets from the 10m driver and shorten it up a bit to lower the
resonant frequency.. There should be some pre-drilled holes to accomadate
this change.
