Jim, if you know this to be true why do you call it a theory? Just
wondering.
### heres one way to test my theory. Toss the load cap..and replace it
with a
50 ohm resistor....
then wire from top of resistor with strap, wire etc, over to a coax
connector......then on to the
MFJ-259B. Now see if the MFJ says 1:1 swr.

With all your bluster you still dont get it. All you are using is a short
piece of shielded cable, impedance has no bearing since it is too short to
present a meaningful reactance.
Your load cap change is due to the added C to ground of that shielded
cable.
Having it is beneficial if the cable is long or passes near other
circuitry
such as the input. Lift the RG-8 shield on a SB-220 and see what happens.
A high percentage of the ones I get thru here have cold solder joints
which
will do wonders for stability.
