you can help with my problem below:
My extended double Zepp cut for 40M works great on all bands below and
not on 160M.
It is up 36 feet and up 8 feet over the roof of my house.
When it was 4 feet lower, my built-in tuner in my Yaesu 890AT tuned 80M.
Now that I raised it the 4 feet, I can no longer tune 80. I figure it
must have coupled to the house when it was lower.
Any suggestions on how to correct this to tune 80 again?
