Ok all you antenna experts out there..
This is were I'm at with this thing. I have replaced the balun (made no
change)and cleaned all the joints and connections, checked and cleaned 
all of the cap tubes,reset all dimensions to factory spec. 
With it 25 feet in the air the swr sucks. On 20 the swr goes from
1.7 @ 14.000 to at best 1.5 at 14.300 and seems to be flat @ 14.277, too
high in the band. On 15 it is flat at 20.603 (a bit out of the band) 
and the srw goes from 1.7 @ 21.000 to 2.0 @ 21.200 then back to 1.8 @
21.300. This is the biggest problem. On 10 its 2.6 @ 28.000 drops to 1.5
@ 28.500 and goes back up to 1.8 @ 29.000.
I have tried everything I can think of.
I know we have some real sharp people on here and some have the same
antenna. Please H E L P, before I cut this thing up and put up a g5rv
(ugg).
Thanks a bunch......
Joe
