The real question is, how does it look on the receive end?
if it looks good there, I wouldn't worry about it. The Z of the antenna 
at 950, can be a bit dynamic. If it's working good and the transmitter 
is happy, it's doing it's job.

I would imagine that if more people measured at the antenna they would 
see similar anomalies, but unless there's a problem we normally don't go 
sticking meters at the upper end of the line unless there's a problem.
