Also, and maybe you know of a source for this, as I gain theoretical
insights I like to strengthen my understanding through measurements and
experiments, a "lab companion book" would be great.

Maxwell has a number of his "Reflections II" chapters up at his web
site. See http://home.iag.net/~w2du/

I strongly suggest that you invest in "Reflections II" by Walt Maxwell, W2DU

No offense, but the tone of your questions and comments indicates that you
are working with a number of highly erroneous misconceptions. The sooner you
iron out these kinks, the better you will understand and enjoy your
antennas.

Walt is working on "Reflections III" but it may be this Fall before it
publishes, so the current edition is more than adequate.

However, don't feel bad - the notion of SWR (its causes and effects) is
probably one of the most widely misunderstood concepts in amateur radio.
Walt can help a lot . . .
