you have lowered the impedance of the antenna, not the resonance, and thus have
a mismatch at the junction of the antenna and the feedline, which causes the
swr. You can add a balun, change the impedance of the feedline, or transform it
at the transmitter either with an additional piece of coax, or with a tuner.
