Tried jumping the ground plane to the mast and it didn't change anything.
Took out the 7/8" bar and it changed a lot. I stuck my shorting jumper in the same spot as it was and I got 2.5:1 on 27.405.....bizarre

I'm using a crappy CB to get in the SWR ball park so I don't goof up my good radio so my target frequency of 27.9 is still to be discovered.

I'll try working around and round the coil and see if I can get it any closer to what it was before I moved the antenna.

I am encouraged
