I retook some strikeweights with tail down, and found David Love was are
right.  Didn't get a whole
gram difference, but consistently heavier.  Still bugs me that there is no
guarantee
the tail is centered under the hammer, but oh well.

note  old   new(tail down)
88    6.0    6.2
78    7.0    7.4
68    8.3    8.7
58    9.3    9.5
48    10.0  10.1
38    9.8    10.1
28    10.2  10.4
18    10.5  10.7
  8    10.7  11.1

I suspect that lowers my average SWR to closer to 6.0 from around 6.2-6.3.
