To state the obvious, the feed line and termination are, in this case, part of the antenna. In some cases an advantage, but not for reliable measurements of an antenna.

Thanks for all of the responses and the assistance. I haven't tried again, but will soon.
I did put a choke on, and it greatly increased my SWR ---- hmmm.
I'm encouraged from the responses. I thought my Nano was broken.
Thanks, All - Coyote
