Last night, while driving home from work, I was formulating my plan of
attack.  First I'd do a walk around at the antenna base to see if things
are good there.  I noticed the connection between the coax and the
antenna was just a tad loose.  I hand tightened it and then checked the
system with my analyzer.

All was back the way it should be.  Tuner settings on 40 meters is once
again wide and forgiving.  I'm getting 200 KHz of more of 2:1 bandwidth
and the settings are back to where they used to be.

K2 is once again happy and the Palstar meter are saying I have a good
match.  To celebrate, I made a CW contact on 40 with the K2.  Very nice

Thanks for all the suggestions & such.  It helps to get a guys thoughts
organized.

73!
