I have a 5/8 wave Mk1 Station master antenna on a mast up the side of the house witch makes the matching coil at the base of the antenna about 9 feet away from a steel roof.

I set it all up and the SWR was 1:1 so I took the wooden box I was standing off the roof and the SWR jumped up to about a 2.


If I got a longer mast would this fix this problem? if I push it up another 10 ft?
