Yes, and that's why the SWR measured at the transmitter is lower than the actual SWR (measured at the antenna) due to the loss in the line. My point is that the sort of SWR we might accept at lower powers quickly becomes impractical at higher powers because of the constraints imposed by the

An SWR approaching 10:1 means high RF voltages on a coaxial line at the voltage loops and high current flows at the current loops requiring a very heavy-duty transmission line - likely a nitrogen-filled hard line at 1.5 kW or, at the very least, a very heavy Teflon insulated line. In practice,
