Jim, the reactance at the antenna can be any value. The reactance at the
input to the transmission line, with VSWR, can be any OTHER value.

The point is ... at the measurement point, where ever that is, at the
antenna or at the transmission line, a determination of either Inductive
or Capacitive reactance can be measured with the MFJ 259B.
