What i meant to say was, a properly tuned
simple dipole will be resonant at only one
frequency and it's harmonics.

My double dips were not harmonically related.


With the two 'dips' not being harmonically related, it
appears that there is some 'other' reason, the feed line
for one, or something near the antenna (a person for instance?).

raising the height of the dipole above the ground
from 3.5 to 6.5 feet was one of the things i did to
fix this problem.

The other one no one has guessed yet...
