Antenna SWR curves

Spent some time yesterday using the MFJ-259B to collect SWR values for the antenna in the different ham bands from 160m to 6m (I skipped 60m). The end result looked like this (vertical scale on all the graphs is from 0 to 10 SWR).

So I have an antenna that’s pretty good on 6 bands: 40m, 20m, 17m, 12m, 10m and 6m. Interestingly, even with the high SWR on 15m, the radio will tune the antenna there too. Not bad for a dipole that’s straight on one side and kind of L-shaped on the other one (darn tree branches)
