Hi, Thank you for your response. I do not have ladder line and only
have the
coax basically.


The coax *IS* the problem. If you don't like to climb, you are going to
have to replace the coax with something like 450 ohm ladder-line. 100
ft. of such ladder-line costs about $17.

One other possible solution is to install an autotuner at the antenna
feedpoint but that is a pain to do.

Fer sure! I love my ladder line, and it's foibles are worth putting up
with IMO.
