In fact, overlaying two traces I took back in 2022 after doing a repair, it seems I've needed to trim it back for a while now, but the curves now closely match what the analyzer mapped back then, with possibly better SWR values overall (though I need to look at the more complex values to really see the differences)

I'll take it.

(Red is current trace, green is 2022 traces)

Overall #HamRadio lesson for newbies on this and one that I should have done a better job with: Antennas are not set-and-forget, you need to have a plan for regular checks and maintenance, lest ye have failures that make no sense.

I'm now going to be adding "resistance checks to balun terminals" to my regular antenna maintenance items.
