But if what you say is correct, then I should be able to get a lot of
power out of my 100 watt transmitter feeding a 1 ohm antenna.


But probably not for long!






Why not? The 100 W transmitter will only put out 100 watts!

As a matter of fact, due to the 50:1 SWR, I will only get about 4 watts
to the antenna, assuming, of course, the transmitter doesn't shut down
from having to dissipate and additional 96 watts.
