I have a 160 meter vertical (ground plane) that now resonates on 1530 KHz. I
want to put a capacitor at the feed point to raise resonance to 1830 KHz.

Do I put the capacitor in series with the vertical radiator, in series with
the radials, or across the feed point? Is one method any better than the
others?
