Hi Matt,

Can you raise your secondary up?  Maybe 2 inches.  That may fix everything
right there.  Having the primary higher than the base of the secondary may
cause all kinds of other problems besides messing up all our calculations
;-)  But just rasing the secondary (or lowring the primary) may fix everything.

Cheers,

	Terry
