On this thought........

What exactly does swing wildly mean?  On a frequency range from 1.8-7.0 what 
should one expect?  My situation is a little different in that I use 75 ohm 
hardline buried to the beverages and use the MFJ 259 which is designed for 50 
ohms.  Most of the band from 1.8 to 7.0 measures around close to 1:1 to around 
2:1 which I assume is not too bad.
