Scott,

Do you have an antenna(s) for 30 and 40 meters?
Those antenna systems may have a bad connection somewhere in the the 
feedline or the radiator itself.

It is quite common for hams to think their antennas are perfect and the 
trouble lies in the radio.

Look at the entire system and pick out the elements that are common to 
the affected bands.
