Antenna bandwidth (without the use of a "tuner":
A reminder that the BW of an antenna is not always determined by SWR
limits. Practical antennas exist where the bandwidth is more reasonably
limited by degradation of the antenna's pattern than by degradation of
SWR. Antennas also exist where the BW might be specified in terms of
limits on efficiency.
The 40 foot high TCI dipole (fat, resistively loaded dipole) might
have its BW specified by SWR, pattern, or efficiency.
