Default SWR and buildings
From: (Dave*P)
From my understanding when you are checking SWR you should be 50ft away
from buildings etc. I'm just wondering how big an effect being close to
a building can have on SWR? If my SWR if around 2 (that'll do me) and I
find myself in a town near a building or in a jam with a big 18 wheeler
alongside could I find that my SWR could go from 2 to a damaging level
due to the closeness?
Cheers,
Dave
