Why does everyone seem to think all the secret, hollow mountains are in
Nevada? I know of one in Colorado and another in Virginia. Umm ...
maybe that's in West Virginia, not sure now. [:-))

I chose these scenarios deviously, to illustrate a kind of corner case, but I think you
get the idea that errors always exist in any power measurement like SWR. You might say,
"But my SuperDuper wattmeter is calibrated by aliens in a metrology lab deep inside
a secret mountain in Nevada and I would bet my life on it." Great, cool,
congratulations. But I'm afraid every last power meter has errors stemming from mismatch,
directivity, nonlinearity and drift.
