You may want to contact your ARRL Section manager to see if there is someone who can look at your antenna. |

I had the same problem with R-8. I did everything you did as well and could not figure it out.. I got frustrated and took it down and ordered a different antenna, |

Multiband ground independent verticals are complicated antennas that may not be the best option for a beginner. EFHW antennas are popular because of their relatively simplicity while offering multiband coverage. https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-category?id=73 Review Category: Tower and Antenna Installers There are guys who travel around the country installing ham antennas. |
