I can not get the antenna to tune with any of my ATUs.

Hi Tom,

You have an unbalanced load whose common mode current is heavily
influenced by the proximity of conductors in this case. Previous to
this, the load was still unbalanced, but you didn't notice it as much.

Solve the balance and keep the line away from nearby conductors.
