[Antennas] My W3EDP

I have the same question as the fellow who was trying to load the 90 =
foot wire on 160 meters.=20
I got a 85 foot length of commo wire, (this stuff is all steel stranded) =
and ran it from the tuner out through the wall (maybe about ten feet is =
inside), up through the one tree to another tree. Secured the end with =
a piece of black nylon rope. Then I had the 17 foot counterpoise laying =
on the floor around the edge of the floor.=20
The best I can get this SWR down to, using the autek antenna analyzer, =
is about 4.0 to one. Now, I am not saying that this super bad or =
unusable, but I thought that I should be able to do a little better than =
that. When I get it to the lowest SWR I can which is about 3.0 to one, =
the frequency is about 7.190. =20
First of all, I imagine I should add a little wire. But what then? =20
By the way, the antenna does get out in that I can communicate with it. =
