As it's unlikely you've changed the laws of nature it's probably your coax. Put 
a 50 ohm dummy load on one end and connect your analyzer (or even your rig) to 
the other and do a sweep of frequencies. I remember once having a cable that 
must have had water ingress that caused all manner of swr problems that seemed 
to change on a daily basis.
