If the antenna is at 36 feet, why are you using 100 feet of coax for
the measurement?  Why not use 50 feet or calibrate out the losses and
present true "at the antenna" measurements?

A good friend alerted me to a posting by K9OM. His post starts as follows ..”Correct me if 
I’m wrong …”. Well, Dick you are WRONG.
The JK Navassa-5 comes pre-drilled, pre-cuts tips from the factory. The user just needs to 
assemble the antenna. These antennas are made of the best quality hardware and rated 
heavy-duty. There are many other quality manufacturers in the Yagi antenna space and the 
Hams are left to some good choices. If you like the JK construction with machined saddles, 
and quality hardware, including the “mast plate" all available for $1185 
compared to others, then you will buy this antenna. The JK construction and mechanical 
robustness speaks for itself and folks that have it will speak to it. The swr curves for 
this antenna assembled out of the box at 36ft is presented here ..
