When I just had installed my Imax it was right next to a old copper j pole on another push up mast. So I took down the j pole and the swr is now close to prefect. I would say all the metal from the crane is the problem. Try mounting the Imax a good 20ft min away from the crane check swr again. Another thing is I would never run a Imax 200ft that is just to high if you get strong winds that antenna will snap in 2 much easier than at 50ft to 60ft. Would be cool to run a Imax mounted at 200ft stock radio you should get 25 to 30 miles no problem. DXing 250w everyone will think your running 750 w to 1k w.
