Wonder if you could keep spraying it to keep it wet while tuning, get an
acceptable impedance match, and then perhaps see it improve as it dries? If,
by any lucky fluke that worked, it might keep rain or ice from rendering the
antenna unusable. You could try making it a little long and then a little
short and testing both lengths wet and dry. At worst it might not improve in
either case as it dries and you could go back to the standard tuning mode.
It might be worth trying. I like antenna experimentation and, being retired,
have all the time I need to experiment. (Money is my limiting constraint.)
