Thanks! This is the 2nd email I got pointing me to the coax. We have had a huge melt down recently and some critters might have damaged my coax that is in drain pipe but above ground.

Thanks for all the replies!

  It definitely had a curve before.  No clue when this  started.
  Anyone have any ideas?
Methinks you have a feedline problem. I'd start at the antenna
checking the swr and work your way  back to the shack from there.
A feedline failure usually indicates higher swr but if there's no dip
anywhere (did you check above  and below 40M?), then it doesn't look like an
antenna.
