To have the measured SWR change with coax length, means you have
current flowing on the outside of the coax. Your coax then becomes
part of the antenna, so changing its length is changing the antenna
length. This would change the feedpoint impedance and the SWR.

That's correct, except that coax loss will also cause the SWR to change
with coax length. Loss will cause the SWR at the antenna (load) to
always be greater than at the transmitter (source).


Would the changing of the coax lead to moving the SWR meter to a
different voltage point on the coax?
