Try making the wire 145 foot, look at the AH-4 Graphical Length Wire Calculator in the Files Section here in this group.
Doesn't matter if the tuner is Icom or Yaesu, you still have to avoid 1/2 wavelength for the wire antenna.

I made a mistake: copying partly from old message:
119 wire first ... should be 148 wire.

Hi All.
I made 148 feet wire test last weekend.
FC40 is abt 10 ft from ground, 119 wire first straight up 20 feets,
to highest point at 30 feets, after that horisontal and straight
until it ends at 20 ft height. Radio FT897 and FC40.
Just fast test: tune or not..
