You will likely get more feedback on TowerTalk.
I would take the antenna down and fix/tune it at 5 meters. The resonance
difference between 5 and 22 meters is usually about 10-15kc, moving up with
elevation.

Well, almost...
WPX SSB is coming, and after two weekends working at my KLM KT34XA I am
still lost, because it's impossible to put SWR in good levels. I changed all
coaxial cables, conectors.
WX0B help me to put 4:1 balun working
ok after being full of water. Even that balun was changed and back again
just for testing KLM balun - both working on the same way. Radio is working
fine. But no way to change this SWR figure:
1:1 to 1:3 all 15 m band;
4:1 all 20m band;
5:1 all 10m band.
Everything seems to be ok, but the antenna was at the top of the tower all
the time - almost no space to work on it at the floor.
The only good news is that I am 40
and (miracle of the miracles) strong enough to climb 22m high tower 10 times
at each Saturday - but I am really tired!!
If you have any kind of sugestion, please use my personal E-mail
py2ny@arrl.net Thank you and see you soon...
