>  Last week I had the antenna back on the ground and  disassembled every 
trap on it, and found nothing out of the ordinary.  ?
 
    So what was the swr when it was on the ground? Did  you check it?
 
    You need to first ascertain that your antenna looks  like an antenna; 
i.e. it has a dip somewhere. Put your antenna analyzer on  the antenna and 
work your way back from there. 
 
    BTW many times an "antenna problem" turned out to  be something in the 
shack; e.g. coax jumper, coax switch, etc.
