[BC] AM Loads

[Milton R. Holladay Jr.]

That's a possibility. Or, the ATU input is not very flat / broadand  (you 
didn't mention whether the problem was when modulated or un.)
There's no way your Bird has any j at this freq.
Was it you using the 916A ? I didn't see any reply to my question about the 
correction factor..........
