Hi Howard number 3 and all: 

Well its the one antenna, the vertical for all bands. 
Its about 25 feet from my cottage and I use an MFJ-989D manual tuner. 
To my recollection, I haven't change anything although, when I 1ST put up the vertical, it tuned fine on all bands but never transmitted on 80M because of the time of evening for that band to open. I also would shut down to refill the 
 generator. That said, The antenna tunes up just fine on every other band and tunes up just fine with the auto tuner in the TS-570 on the band that's giving me issues with the manual tuner. 
I don't think I got water in the feedline as the only tuning problem is on the 80M band, precisely around 3.79. 
I also shortening up the feedline yesterday because of the way too much length I had but the problem still is there. 

TNX & 73:
