Sure, there is ALWAYS VSWR. It may be 1:1, but it's always there.

If there's no reflection, there can be no standing wave. So, being
pedantic, there's no such thing as an SWR of 1:1!


Why do you say that? If there is no reflection the voltage on the line
is purely due to the forward signal and so the VSWR is 1:1. What's
wrong with that?
