I can now verify that the FA-VA5 does just fine on my 160 meter inverted-L.
As an aside, we've had some rain here in Tucson lately and I've observed a
decrease in the feedpoint Z of about 5 ohm due to increased ground

At this location, the VNWA is a bit squirly near the BC band but with a
single L/C notch added at the device input (within the cal plane), it
works fine.
The AA-55 Zoom I have is immune and is the my go-to instrument for field
work. Recommended.
MFJ-259 is too easily disturbed and is not
I can vouch for the AA-55 Zoom, although it is not without flaws. I live 5.9

70 dB over S9 on a calibrated K3, that's 70 dB above -73 dBm or -3dBm. As long
as I don't sweep through that frequency, the analyzer is
