I'm not a VHF guy, but all of my HF antennas have become out of tune over time. Whether wires stretch or fray or fall, it's inevitable.
It only seems logical to hold VHF antennas to the same standard.
How many mobile setups or CB radios have gone from a 2:1 SWR to 4:1 over the course of 5 years bumping down the road?
