What you have done is tuned the entire antenna/feedline system to 50

changes the reactance of the this length that was formerly tuned out.


Thank you for that
clarification/correction, Richard. What
I should have said was that with CM
effects, the SWR meter will not show the
actual SWR "in" the coax, which could be
wildly different from the 1:1 measured
for the entire antenna/feedline system.
