Hi everybody!

I've been worked out the problem!
Last night I went out after the BC was turned off. I disconnected the two
elevated radials, then I joint the two buried system... It was -6°C but I
didn't feel any cold temperature when I saw my MFJ-259b was showing me
VSWR=1:1 on 1.83 MHz! Everything was OK in 80m and 40m too.
Now I wonder why was I able to match the antenna on 160m only with the two
elevated radials? I don't think it's just a RF mystery, of course.

73 de Enzo.
