If you have a close-by strong source of RF energy like FM or AM
broadcasters, police, ambulance, CB'ers, hams, ....... any of those and
more could be affecting the readings. This is not all that uncommon in
cities when the VNA is connected to a large antenna.

Is it normal for the readings to fluctuate as much as 2-3 ohms ? As in
11+/-1.5 - j(70+/-1.5)
Dipole NMHA (antenna), balun, calibrated, two ferrites: one at the balun
and one at the VNA S11 port. No body / coax inadvertent movements,
everything taped down near the antenna.
