Tnx Bill..yes I understand what has happened but the unknowns are how it 
might be effecting erp...are the added wires having a similar effect of 
adding more nearby trees or RF-absorbing structures? I have yet to check the 
impedance changes as well. There's no trouble re-resonating as the 
variometer as able to compensate for the shift. There is also another 
smaller resonance shift if / when the coax from the inverted-V's has its 
shield grounded.

>>Steve, Don't get rid of your new antenna.   What you did to the LF antenna
by putting in the new one was to add capacitance, so now subtract a little
of the inductance from the LF and it will be fine.
