It is frequently thought the SWR can be used to calculate the power
lost in the line. But, particularly when the the line is less than
1/4-wavelength long, this is not so. It requires the location of peaks
and troughs to be known - which they are not.

In my no-tuner system of tuning, the peaks and troughs are known.
The purely resistive current maximum point is always located at
the balun/choke.
