My  SteppIR is exhibiting high SWR at all frequencies. Varying the length 
of the  
driven element does not affect it.

If I plug only the center  conductor of the coax into the rig the noise 
level is much 
higher than  when the shield makes contact. Any SWAG's as to what this 
means the  
problem likely is?
