My calculation of that line works out to 579 ohms.
Something doesn't add up here.  Probably explained
by trying to measure a balanced line with an
unbalanced network analyzer.  Or using a balun
you haven't calibrated out.

Sorry Ed,


My feed line is an open wire, 14 AWG with a 4" spacing. I believe it have a Zo 
of about 400 ohm (I tested it by putting a 390 ohm resistor at the end and watching 
the SWR as a function of the frequency.) I made the line myself.

And Hans,

Your feedline is not described in your response. While I am assuming it is 
ladder or open wire feed, wound you mind being a bit more specific: maker, 
model number, impedance, etc.

Thanks,
