What frequency and what SWR? About 50% of your power would
be lost on 10m with a matched antenna.

50? that is close to the lose for 8X. For 8/U the loss would be closer to
40% (assuming, as you did, a 1:1 VSWR).

I would sleep better at night knowing that I was
losing 40% of my power versus an unacceptable 50%. HI!HI!
