Dave:
You are not confused -- I am. I pulled the wrong plot from the file and did
not read the title, just the frequency.
This is the scan that I should have put up to begin with. The scan only
shows the impedance at the entry point to my station. I am not sure about
the pattern. The input impedance on 18.6 MHz looks OK but not super.
