I put some toriod? cores on the line which helped out the problem on 80m
to some extent. It did help bring the swr back down to a more acceptable
level, but it still isn't as low as it is when the cable is unplugged.

Keep adding some more and at different distance too. Also balun at the
feedpoint would help and if possible rerouting the cables.

I'll try putting them at different locations along the cable. I have 4 that
are designed to clip onto wire the size of rg-8u so I coiled up the
control cable and cliped the cores over the coil of wire, and i put all 4
on that coil. I'll try making several smaller coils and putting them at
different places along the cable
