recently  installed a Barker & Williamson Model AC - 1.8 - 30 Antenna. I 
installed it as a sloper following the manufacturers instructions. The top of 
the sloper is mounted on a tower at 50 ft. The opposite end of the antenna is 
attached to a post 9 feet above the ground. At this location, the antenna is 
grounded with the counterpoise. The other end of the counterpoise is not 
grounded at the opposite end ( at the tower). 

PROBLEM: I can not get anywhere near a descent VSWR using a IC-756 Pro III. 
Please get me some suggestions  to solving this problem. 
I have photos if desired. 

Thanks to the TowerTalk users for their help!
