Well since your reactance went up with an increase in frequency, the X is inductive.

However, the phase angle and R are almost perfect at 27.6 MHz => R is about 51 ohms with an angle of less that one degree.

I would call it good enough.

But if you can't, you might be able to shorten the electrical length some to reduce the inductive part, which may also reduce the resisitive part and make the antenna appear like the 26.9 MHz sweep, which isn't as good...
