Default I bought a large capacitance hat for my vertical, but the antennastill gets wet when it rains.

Everybody is correct and everybody is wrong.

According to Turabian's "A Manual for Writers", plurals of most single
and multiple capital letters used as nouns are formed by adding "s"
alone. Example: SWRs
Form the plural of small letters, capital letters with periods, and
capital letters that would be confusing if "s" alone were added by
adding apostrophe and "s".

Now, everybody, back to work and mind your p's and Qs

My question is: just what is/are "SWR's" and "SWRs"

As in words like, "amen", are pronounced "ah".

That certainly seems confusing to me and the confusion
is not apparent until more than halfway through the
sentence.

A's in words like, "amen", are pronounced "ah".

No confusion there.
