Agree on both points. The resonant point appears to be well below 1.8
MHz and there is clearly a lot of loss in there somewhere. He says he
changed out the coax so water in the coax seems less likely.
The fact that the resonance has dropped is odd, since it implies more
length instead of less like you'd get with a bad connection. I wonder
if the end of the wire that is in the tree has lost it's insulation and
there is actually contact to wet wood there. That would add both
additional loading and loss.

1. The resonant point seems to be at 1.80 or below.
2. The broad response indicates high loss somewhere. If you hadn’t said that
you changed it, I would suspect water in the coax.

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?
