Jeff was correct to question. I was vague. What I should have said
was indicated reflected power, not VSWR.
But good luck trying to determine an accurate VSWR based on erroneous
reflected readings.
Let the boo birds squawk. Keep questioning, Jeff.

I didn't think it was worth responding to, Jeff.

I don't know what that's supposed to mean. The VSWR on the line is
the same
no matter where along the line you measure it. If you're using a
meter that
reads a different VSWR depending where on the line you put it, you
need a
new meter...
