That may be what's going on but they looked steady when I was watching them, but I can't see both ends at the same time obviously. But that's a lot of deflection. I should have a better signal to begin with than the -72 or 73 is sits at, seeing as how it's a short straight shot. When I first put it in I was convinced I was connecting to a side lobe due to the signal but I never could get any better than that. I may be on one and that may explain it but I'll be darned if I could ever find out.
