190 feet of LDF4-50. Then I think what you're saying is that isolation
(or the lack) isn't responsible for much of what I am seeing.
well.. since LDF4-40 has 0.2 dB/100ft loss, I don't think that's
accounting for it. 0.8 dB return loss is a pretty big VSWR number.
You might be seeing something else. Maybe parasitic C to the case or
control wires or something, and it just happens to be the right amount
to almost match.

Not sure what your feedline length and type are, but just 2dB of loss
in that line would give you a 4.5:1 SWR at the shack end if it were
left completely unterminated at the other end.
