I bought a used A99 a figured I would give it to my brother to put up
in his attic. so he monted the antenna on a PVC mast that he made in
the 20' tall attic. It was a 1.5 (SWR) 1 & 40. My father decided to
play with it and now it is showing infinity on both 1 & 40 turning the
rings changes little it never drops below 3.0. can someone tell me the
correct way to tune the antenna (this way I can make sure I am doing
everything right) also does the antenna need to be grounded by anything
other then coax (ie a ground strap to cold water pipe or something
alont them lines)... please help

Should have left it where it was. Call Solarcon, and see if they can tell you
the positions of the rings. Otherwise, hang a 1/2 dipole vertically. Should work
the same.
