I agree with most of what you have to say and we both agree his load is reactive. But unless the load is a 50 ohm resister I would expect to see a slightly higher swr with a reduced bandwidth due to the return loss of the 30 ft of cable at 11 meters.
But come on, inexperienced operator ,a99 mounted 15 ft of the ground ,objects in it's near field , no choke ( at last report), swr tested at end of cable. Then raised another 5 ft, 30ft of cable removed. And driven with 1kw pep.
What could possibly change !!!
