Hi Owen,

If it's wrong to argue that Bird wattmeter measurements are valid at the
point of measurement, I don't wanna be right. ;-)

PS: I am planning my next mythbusters (oh no! I hear...)

Undoubtedly it's the collective "oh goody!" that you hear.

Myth: SWR
meters measure SWR. Now this is not to bag SWR meters, I think that
they are very useful instruments, but they have limitations, and the
greatest problem is not the meters, but probably the knowledge base of
those (ab)using them.

You must be new around here. :-)
