No.
I know a fellow who works in Tech support for a big computer company
who says they get questions likes this all the time.

There are several reasons the product has failed to meet your
expectations.
1- you have likely installed it upside down.
2- Your antenna is defective, the product is not meant to be used with
a defective antenna.
3- Exposure to weather has nullified your warranty.
4- There is an improved replacement product available and you may wish
to upgrade at a special price.

When I reached my first duty assignment in the USAF I was sent on a fools
errand to get 1000 yards of flight line. When I got to the place I was
suppose to pick it up I told the guys there that I knew what flightline was
but I had an idea for a joke on the guy that sent me down there.They were
very happy to help. We went out back of the base and loaded up a truck with
rubble from flightline construction then took it back and put it the POV
pickup of they guy who had sent me out. When I went back to the shop I told
him I had the flightline but didnt think I had the thousand yards he had
requested. This got him and everyone else in the shop curious and they all
wanted to see what I had brought back. Thats when I told him to go look in
the back of his pickup.

What are SWR's? Does your antenna have multiple standing wave ratios?

Does the standing wave ratio own something called "are better"?

Are SWR's related to 73's, and if so does the hat help 73's also? Is
your antenna still a fertile female that gets wet whenever a large

Maybe it was award's for selling extra 's as a school project

Methinks your leg was being pulled.

The SWR with the apostrophe s is a grammatical error. The apostrophe s indicates
that the SWR is possessive, that the SWR owns something; or, that the SWR is
doing something. The apostrophe s is not plural!!

The plural, multiple, SWR is denoted SWRs.

How To - Use an Apostrophe :
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=119095
PLURALS - When you add an 's' to make a plural,
it NEVER takes an apostrophe.
Never. There are no exceptions.
The same is True for Plurals of Abbreviations
- it is A.T.M.s, not A.T.M.'s
- itr is G.P.s not G.P.'s.
NOTE - These Rules are those which Apply in Modern British English
(as taught in High Schools and Universities throughout the
Commonwealth).

FWIW - The King's English which is often NOT Spoken or Written by
Americans.

That definition agrees with what I learned in English
class 50+ years ago. The plural of a number uses an
apostrophe. So 73's would indeed be the plural of 73
as in "many best regards". It's no stretch to assume
that the plural of SWR would be SWR's.

Incidentally, I have an obvious typo in the definition
that the spell-checker didn't catch. Should have been:

"apostrophe - a mark used to indicate ... the plural of
letters or figures."

I have a "Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary"
which contains a "Basic Manual of Style" in the back.
Here's what it says for "Apostrophe: ... 3. To form the
plurals of letters or figures add an apostrophe and an s."
That's seems to be prescriptive.

Would a "Basic Manual of Style" change your mind?

I have a "Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary"
which contains a "Basic Manual of Style" in the back.
Here's what it says for "Apostrophe: 1. ... 2. ... 3. To
form the plurals of letters or figures add an apostrophe
and an s. ..."

It does say that a few people object to number 3. As in
many other areas of the English language, the context of
the use of the apostrophe determines its function:

1. to replace missing letters,
2. possessive,
3. plurals of letters or numbers.

P.S. The better educated posters avoid violating the
attribution rules for newsgroups.

Use of the apostrophe as a plural designation is rapidly becoming
passe'. IIRC it already is in the UK.

Possessive is the new standard.

Is it? I've always wondered. Does the work "belong" to last year?
Does last year "own" the work? It's *my* work that was done last year.
