Very interesting. Can you take one more reading. Leave the meter between

coil and cap, and then short out the coil. If shorting out the coil

any difference, you are seeing the imperfection due to the meter. This
is
what I was alluding to in my response to Walter.

Shorting out the coil will leave the load at 50-j442 ohms, a very high
SWR.

Hi Cecil,

I think what you did was to force the current to be in phase with the
voltage and fooled the meter into thinking it was all forward power. That is
sort of the experiment I was going to do, but you beat me to it. Note that
in the case where you moved the meter, you actually changed the load, but
you know that.
