ou’re on the right track with changing the coax. You have some sort of resistive loss.
Not necessarily. Did you get on the air during the contest? Did you work anyone?
SWR is NOT an indicator of antenna performance. Yes, the antenna appears to be resonant below 1.8 MHz. An inverted L consists of two parts, both equally important -- the vertical with the horizontal top, and the counterpoise/radial system. I agree that the broad SWR suggests a problem with the counterpoise/radial system.
