Hello Larry,
I believe this issue, particularly with the 3.5 mm cal kit is presented in
a number of application briefs from HP, Keysight, R&S and Wiltron. I'll see
if I can find these references.

Alan,
I concur with that. Certainly for any kits I have, the effect is most
pronounced with the 3.5 mm kits. On the HP 85052B 3.5 mm kit, the arcs will
do a full 360 degrees around the Smith Chart by about 16 GHz. Neither my
85050B (18 GHz APC7), nor 85054B (18 GHz N) show the effected as pronounced
as the 3.5 mm kit.
