David -- you are correct -- the mismatch in the system and antenna factors still remain, regardless of the cable length If the antenna (or whatever load) is not 50 ohms at some frequency, and the source feeding the antenna (or whatever) is 50 ohms at that frequency, a mis-match will exist.

I don't understand that. You only get standing waves when a mismatched transmission line is a significant fraction of a wavelength. If the transfer of power from antenna to amplifier is in question, then you could do what another list member suggested: calibrate antenna and amplifier together
