The proper way to test the MFJ analyzer for RFI is to place the analyzer in
frequency counter mode and look at the SWR meter needle.
If the ***SWR meter*** is deflecting off zero when in frequency counter mode
with the antenna connected in a normal way, you have RFI. :-)
-20 dB will start to cause an error in readings.

BCstation
One way to confirm that it is the BC station is to test the antenna during
the day then at night when the (most) BC stations reduce(s) power. You
might even be able to take a valid measurement when the BC station power
is
reduced.
