There
I tried to get on 160 with my Inverted L last night. 60 feet up and the
rest over to a tree, 130 feet total. About 20 random length radials in the
yard. The best I can do with a city lot. This antenna worked last year
very well, but now I get this

There seems to be NO resonance at all with this antenna. Before, I could
operate the bottom of the band but nothing above 1850 without a tuner. I
have changed out the coax feeding the antenna which hepl bring signals up,
but it seems to be a dummy load.
Anyone have an idea what is going on? Shucks, I am out of ideas. Unless
my ground plane has gone wonky
My tuner can't find a match for it either. I have an automatice tuner now,
but it cannot find a match. Something is wrong here and I am stumped.
Any help from the antenna gurus out there?
