On the upstream side of the diodes (if any) in the directional
coupler, you might be able to obtain AC measurements proportional
to the forward and reflected power, depending upon the sensitivity
of your meter. It could also be done using an o'scope.

And having found SWR what would he do with it - calculate forward and
reflected power ?
