Lou,

What happens when you put a dummy load on it and attempt to do a TUNE - 
what SWR does it report?
If it is still 9.9 or something else above 1.5, then you have a problem 
with the K1 tuner - any chance you wound T1 in the direction opposite to 
that shown in the manual?

If the dummy load tunes OK, look for an open or a short in your antenna 
system.

73,
