SWR has nothing in the world to do with how you get out.

Hence is no indication to anyone as to the suitability of an antenna.

its an indication of how well the antenna is matched to the
transmitter. a higher swr most likely results in reduced output
wattage. reduced output power most likely results in reduced range.
all things considered i'd rather have a lower swr than higher.
