Try this, just for grins (only for 40 meters): take your end of the
twinlead and gently twist them together and stick them into the center
conductor of the output connector. I assume you have a great, short
ground that you are working against.

That should be something that you can tune, and assuming that your
twinlead doesn't get too close to metal on its way to the tree, you
should do better.

That could be a good top-loaded vertical.
make sure you have a good ground, like he said.

I wanted to try that with my G5RV, but never got a chance before moving to a
new qth.
Its on my list of things to do.

I've also heard of folks switching in and out different lengths of feedline.
but the same problem arises - that is - what to do with the extra feedline.
