Hi Jim,
Thanks for your replies.
I agree with your thoughts. I have a comet gp-9 and I have had to replace the
in-line capacitors a couple of times due to close lightning strikes.This gp-6nc
is probably built in similar fashion. Making the internal element longer will
probably be a pain, in addition to making the fiberglass covering tube longer
even if I get it to tune lower. As you suggest, I'll put an analyzer on it to
see how wide banded it might be. Maybe I'll get lucky and will work on the ham
bands. I was hoping someone went through this before I tried it, so as to get
some pointers. Thanks again for your thoughts.
73,
Tom

Wrong part number, it's for a longer, higher gain antenna, and the
website yields an error for the right part number.
The tuning on antennas like this is strongly dependent on element
length, and there are likely internal components connecting the two
elements. My guess is that it won't be easy to modify.
