I'll  do  some testing tomorrow, been trying to gain a bit of vertical
height  today  and  have  run out of "play time". Just to be sure, you
want  me  to  reverse  the  connections  so  the AIM is looking at the
winding  that  would  normally go to the loading coil, and the loading
coil  and  antenna is connected to the winding that would normally go,
via about 50 feet of co-ax, to the auto transformer in the shack bound
combiner?

Thanks for your help!
