I now find reasonable SWR on most bands (WARC, not so much). Here's
the deal: min SWR comes in right at 3.5 MHz, 6.75, 13.43, 18.07 and
29.06. It appears that I made the classic newbie mistake...antenna too
short.



Actually, it appears to be too long on 75m, 40m, and 20m.


Thanks to all for replies.

Yep, too LONG.
Egg on MY face. In my defense, it was late and I was working all day
getting the G5RV up in the trees.

To top off the day, I connected my K2 to the ATU and can't get them to
work together...short somewhere...will have to wait until after work.
