I've been working with a 5BTV antenna for about two weeks now. I've got good SWR readings on 10m, 15m and 80m. Higher but usable readings on 20m. However, I can't get anything under 2.0:1 on 40m. The antenna is ground mounted with 20 25' radials. It's fed with about 60' of coax. I've tried the normal tuning as well as adjusting the traps. Nothing seems to bring the SWR on 40m down to something usable. Anyone have any ideas I can try?
