Default my SWR reading

if the radio is happily putting out its rated power then don't touch it,
keep operating! remember, too low an swr can kill you!

Hi, I just got my new (used) HF rig, and I strung up a half wave dipole
for 10 meters using 28.4 mhz in my calculations. Several hours later I
am getting an SWR reading of 2:1 at 28.4mhz. Is that pretty good or
should I try to do better?

I appreciate any opinions.

Jim
