  I am trying to set the resonant 80M frequency of my HF6V antenna to 
  about 3.8MHz.  My a scan with my Rig Expert VSWR meter says it about 
  10:1 across the entire 80M band.  I have adjusted the VSWR on all other 
  bands to about 1.5:1 within the range of my normal operating 
  frequencies.  Following the manuals procedure, I can't seem to get it to 
  move in any direction.

  The antenna is ground mounted with 10-60' buried radials.

  Any ideas or suggestions?
