[Elecraft] High current question

My K2/100 is indicating high current draw on a portion of 40 meters but only 
on the antenna.  On the dummy load there is no problem.  It's not high SWR 
as both antennas it happens with (double bazooka and ground mounted 
Butternut vert) indicate low SWR on my MFJ analyzer, SWR meter and the K2. 
This occurs at full power of around 100 watts.  Any ideas on what may be 
causing this?  I'm using my Drake PS7 power supply which has more than 
enough amperage and minimal voltage drop.

Thanks and 73,

Bill NZ0T
