Lessee: 23 feet, say 7 meters is a quarter wave
so a wavelength is 28 meters.
300/28 = 10.7 MHz or a little lower....

The wire in a glass whip can break.
Checking it for resonance would eliminate this possibility.

The antenna is a 23 foot Shakespeare whip. I´ve checked the
connections to it and they appear to be good. I´ve been told that my
signal sounds good although I can only transmit at low power. I would
have thought that at some frequency that the antenna would be tuned.

you didn't say what the antenna is - assuming sailboat backstay -
maybe check the condition of the HT wire from the tuner to the
backstay?
