[50mhz] High SWR on a 4-element beam

  I finally got around to replacing my rotor cable on my 4-element beam, 
so that I can start playing around again on 6m. To be honest, I don't 
remember which brand or model it is. Anyway, I was trying it out on
just low power and according to my cross-hair meter,  I was getting
a very high SWR at 50.125. So I get my MFJ analyzer out and sweep it,
and I have nearly perfect SWR at 46 and 60 MHz, but very high elsewhere
on the band. The antenna looks okay, the rods are all in place and straight.

  Suggestions?
