I have a k1 with an ATU that is having trouble tuning a long wire 
antenna on 40/20  meters.  This antenna is about 60 feet long and is 
connected to the K1 with a lenght of rg 58u coax about 10- feet long.

Either I get chattering relay or a very high SWR.  Any ideas what I cna 
do to make this antenna function

I have a 20 meter diapole that tunes perfectly.


Thanks in advance.
