Default VSWR doesn't matter?

Hi Jim,

Would it be fair to say there are a number of Hams (no need to go into
proportionality, could be equal number) who have difficulties of
understanding with going from lumped, equivalent circuits to antennas
and transmission lines?

The two perspectives are not exclusionary nor mutually incompatible,
only the arguers are.
