The SWR varies dramatically as you rotate the antenna so I suspect that the performance is compromised as a result. I don't know what it's interacting with but it could be gutters, house wiring, etc. I'm thinking about recommending that the owner switch to a trapped tribander just because it isn't as susceptible to nearby stuff like the C3SS is. Tom said to move it up higher - even a couple of feet might make the difference. I haven't done that yet. While the owner doesn't seem overly concerned about the situation, I'm not real happy with the result.
