Your HT Antenna SWR Varies Let Me Explain

[@Inkling777]

You might want to test with a 'tiger tail'-a quarter-wave counterpoise attached at the antenna base. That might help.

Best thing to do is test your antenna under real world conditions with a NanoVNA or similar and don't forget to calibrate the thing properly before use! You will be amazed of the results and learn how the values change due to movement, position, grounding and - of course - frequency u use!
