The SWR has to be the same at any point on the coax or transmission line
minus the loss in the line. A simple swr meter may show some differance
because of the way that kind of meter works. By changing the length of
the
line , the apparent SWR may be differant at that point.

There is no such thing as apparent SWR. It is what it is in a given
place.


By 'apparent SWR' he means as indicated SWR on the meter, and yes it can
change at various point on the line due to inadequacies in the meter; the
'real' VSWR will of course remain the same at any point on a lossless
line.

That is what I mean Jeff. If there is any SWR, by changing the length of
the line, the voltage/current changes in such a maner that at certain points
you may get a 50 ohm match at that point.
