Cecil, bearing in mind Lord Kelvin, can you say what the error in the
measured value of the SWR, or the reflection coefficient, would be if
the (sufficient) two feet of RG-400 was reduced to 1" inch.

According to Dave's calculations, 1" of 50 ohm coax will
result in a negligible error in the SWR on that 1" of coax.
