[TenTec] Tuning up with a dummy load ?

[KF4EIB@aol.com]

Greetings group,

Question please:
When tuning with a dummy load (50 ohm), I get a good swr reading.
Switch back to longwire antenna and BOY is it way OFF.
Trying this on novice / tech + portion of 40 meters.
This is first try with a dummy load... have tuned as fast as possible on quite
freq. before, want to do this right though.

Info...

Ten Tec Omni D
Ten Tec Antenna Tuner
MFJ Dummy Load
MFJ  Switch (2 position)
Long wire antenna

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks 

Gordon kf4eib
