Dang! I didn't know that......
When I mess with setting SWR,using a Firestick-type antenna, in the fine tuning part, I can easily move the ratio back & forth by uncoiling the wire or re-coiling it. So sensitive and adjustable in fact, that I have to anticipate the final reading before I put the rubber cover over the tip 'cause that act also affects fine tuning. I also believe that you can re-lengthen the antenna by splicing the surgically-removed 6" of wire back onto the antenna. Of course, my business is not enhanced by selling you another antenna mast. 
Bring that SWR meter to Sci/Co or VH with you. We'll check it. I'll appreciate it.
I've now heard so many different opinions, I'm confused.........I know, you don't think that's any different from normal.
