Well I added a 5 foot mast and raised the antenna up, the swr's actually went up a few tenths. I took the extra 5 foot mast off after that. I put the current choke I have right at the antenna and it really made no difference. I also tried to insulate the antenna from the fence post but it must be grounded because it still shows continuity to the mast. The brackets are now insulated from ground but the mast is not. I took the current choke off and seem to have better swr's with out it now and less tvi. This makes no sense to me.
