Hmm.  My homemade 20M Ground Plane antenna that was nicely resonant on
20M  now has a 3:1 SWR on 20M but is 1:1 on 30M!  Perhaps I should
patent the design,  how to make a resonant 30m vertical out of 17.5
feet of aluminium tubing!  The other odd thing is that the SWR is only
around 3:1 on 10M, 12M, and 15M.  I would expect it to be much higher
without  tuner.  It is not until I get to 40M that I get a very high
SWR.  I'll be going outside to check  , when the weather clears.  It
will be interesting to find out what has  happened
