yes... if you use and electrical half wave of coax ( use velocity factor to figure) then the antenna Z will be read correctly at a distance from the antenna... ground proximity will make it hard to make adjustment perfect...
the bits of steel get embeded in the aluminum and then rust and make corrosions worse ( dis-similar metals make galvanic corrosion). use a green plastic pot scrubber instead.
Did you ever get the antenna up. I did all this to mine and it’s setting in the garage. Haha. No one to help get it up. Wd40 on a green pad , then wipe off with damp rag. Worked great. I need to get the damn thing up now.
im waiting on rotor parts then i can get my ta 33jr up, but having swr issues, always something...

haven't got back to it. like you no help, and also no tower !
@@captlarry-3525 hopefully you can get on a small pole soon. I hear they work well at 20’.
