That makes sense, confirms what I suspected and explains poor directivity of 
my triangular parasitic array using Stackmatch for switching driven elements. 
I am going to try simple relay swicthing of both shield and center conductor. 
It would help if  this kind of info was included with commercial product. 

Thanks!
