Those long skinny leads from the BN86 to the feedpoint form a high impedance
transmission line. It is fairly short in electrical degrees but will run the
impedance around the Smith Chart circle a surprising amount. This is easily
modeled with transmission line software. No doubt the Hygain engineers
included this effect in their overall design.
