Maybe I am missing something,and I don't have a MFJ259, but I assume
that the resistance reading is not a true resistance reading but Mod Z.
So any reactive part of the load will contribute to the reading. So when
used with a real antenna I am not sure why you would need such an
accurate readout, because Mod Z can have a resistive part that is well
away from the 'Resistance' reading on the meter.

You are correct, Jeff. However, the exercise is to help him with
constructing an equation which relates his data points. It is his
decision to use the info or not.

I'm not trying to be nasty. I have just put blinder on myself to answer
only his direct question without offering better solutions (as if I had
any).
