Gerry,

The load is the antenna - about which the SWR meter knows absolutely
nothing. All the the meter has to work with is the input impedance of
the tuner or the transmission line.

Line input Z = R+jX and to aggravate matters the meter discards all
information about X.

The load that counts is what the transmitter sees. Which is what his
instrument measures.
