24, Bob85 should be able to help you with this one. To me, it sounds like a construction error and I'm not real sure it is all in the length of the radiator, because I believe Bob85 gets his tuned at lengths from 27' to 30'+ with good SWR. That is pretty high SWR for an antenna that is made for 11 meters---assuming your construction is what the book says.
