Jim,

Perhaps there's some misunderstanding about location of the meter and
what it is measuring. Let's try to clear it up.

Would you please do us both a favour by answering the following simple
question?

There is a 50 ohm line feeding a 100 ohm antenna.

There is an SWR meter located at the line-antenna junction.

The meter has a reading. Does the reading apply to SWR of the
antenna, or does it apply to the SWR along the feedline?

Antenna or Feedline?
