Amp Supply was always changing things.

Add whatever value gives full loading and improves output AND efficiency. 
Then your excessive voltage drop will probably go away. That tank has a very 
limited matching range on 160 and I changed values on my 500ZC so I could 
cover the full band with a fairly high VSWR at the high end. I detest 
antenna tuners.
