I'd like to thank everyone for their input.
I am feeding the antenna with a 4:1 coax balun. The last change
I made was to move the antenna approximately 1 foot farther from
the side of the my TV tower. This was done when i replaced the
angle iron with square tube for better mechanical stability.
This also changed the feedline routing. I was able to adjust the
tap location so that the swr dips to a very low value at 146.01
and rises to less than 1.5:1 at the lower and upper ends of the
FM band plan. It's still not right, but it will do for now.
Thanks again, 73
