[Antennas] Butternut HF6V

[JK]

Possibly corrosion at the cap, coil or other connections....


Have U wire brushed every single connection yet including the tubing 
joints ?

         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?
