Andre I was having issues with an end fed 73 ft length wire with no unun and was hoping longer length would decrease SWR. it looks like the exact opposite happened…

Did you tune the length of the wire? I'm running a end fed with 49:1 unun, and SWR was terrible with 66' of wire. Ended up taking ~4 feet off, and SWR is under 1.8 on 40, 20, 15, and 10. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good antenna tuner for a 1/2 wave end fed wire antenna? Have researched Yaesu FC40, LDG Electronics, MFJ, ham radio website and have not found anything that has attracted my attention. My SWRs are way off and according to the website "literature" wire antennas need a tuner...
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
