My MB-V-A doesn't quite tune my limited radial inverted L.

I added some coax between the tuner and wire and that got the swr down to
2.5

Wire goes up my the side of the tower to a yardarm, 50 feet, and then 70
feet, slight slope to tree in front of the house.

I do have 6 random length radials under the sod.

I realize that's not enough but that's all there is going to be.

Vaguely remember someone saying you can add some fixed caps to help tune.

Please advise what size/rating doorknob would be best and where in the
circuit to add them.

Had a lot of fun in the ARRL 160, (very low power) and would like to improve
the system a bit for next contest.
