hi all!
is there a way to "shorten" a VHF dipole or groundplane, but not physically?
Like placing a ferrite bead on the root of the elements?

Yes, capacitors in the Pf range. I have used a 15pf trimmer cap soldered across the connection at the antenna.

indeed. I should have thought of it myself.
I guess efficiency will suffer a bit
BTW, at what voltage rating?
-
I used 100 volt
