Surprising SWR for homebrew dipole

[Formula-T]

I built a dipole out of an old silver rod by cutting each of the six sections into two i.e. 6 pieces for each side with a junction box in the center. With the help of an online dipole calculator I measured each side and mounted it on an 8 meter pole.

The SWR is 1:1 from 26Mhz to 30Mhz. Is this normal?

I have tested the SWR with three meters, all show 1:1 SWR.

That great.
What type of meter did you use
