Maybe, for your line length, the 4:1 transformation is putting the
feedline input Z out of range of the K1 tuner on 40 and 30. It might
be fun to try switching to a 1:1 balun (or no balun at all) to just to
see what happens... since it's so easy to do. Beyond that,
experimenting with feedline length seems like the next step.
