Topband: Reactance problem

[W2pm@aol.com (W2pm@aol.com)]

I don't suggest this is the issue here but I have found after extensive work 
with it that the MFJ259B is quite sensitive to BC band and/or any other "strong 
RF" coming in off the antenna in question. I do not live particularly close to 
BC stations but was getting strange and inexplicable readings on my Inv L and 
other topband antennas. Then I bought the tunable filter device they sell and 
all readings fell into expected or likely boundaries.
