I'm hoping to put up an inverted V for 80m soon, but it will be compromised by the fact that I cannot get the two legs in straight line; they will probably be at an angle of 120' and each will be in a rather different environment.

So, what would be the best way to check for resonance with that? The idea which occurred to me was to check each leg independently using a GDO and trim to get them both on the same frequency.

Does that sound reasonable?

Can GDO check wire antenna's resonance? I used to think they are for checking inductors and coils.

Saying that, when I see my GDO, it has input for a wire antenna. Was wondering what that was for.
