Hello Frank

I was wondering how I can determine
the resonance frequency of an antenna
(diple) by using a grid-dip meter (GDO)

I tried to search for it on Google with
poor results.

Here is the relevant text from that web site.

""PRUNING" ANTENNAS
The unit is shirt-pocket sized so you can use it up the mast. To check a
vertical 1/4 wave (for example) disconnect the feeder, and short the
antenna with a bit of wire about 5-10cm long. Twist the wire to form a
single turn loop and check this loop with the GDO as above. If the ANT
is too short the DIP will be higher than the frequency you want."
