My a scan with my Rig Expert VSWR meter says it about 10:1 across the entire 80M band. I have adjusted the VSWR on all other bands to about 1.5:1 within the range of my normal operating frequencies. Following the manuals procedure, I can't seem to get it to move in any direction. The antenna is ground mounted with 10-60' buried radials. Any ideas or suggestions?
