[Antennas] Change in coaz = change in SWR.

I exchanged 100' feet of RG-58 with 100' of Cable X-Perts 1318FX. After
checking the SWR with an RF-1, there is quite a difference - the resonant
frequency of the antenna has gone up around 600 khz. For example, I had a
1.7:1 (checked just before changing the coax) at 14.230. Now that freq
shows an SWR of 4:1. The low point, 1.3:1, is at 14.880. Before adjusting
the antenna, I thought I would check with the people on this list. Any
ideas? Tom W6EIJ
