If the line loss is known, it a simple matter to compute the actual SWR
(SWR at the antenna) from the reading at the transmitter. As someone has
pointed out, Maxwell shows how to do this in his book. Why make a big
deal of it? It is simply too inconvenient to measure it at the antenna,
for the value one gets from that reading. Of course, in cases of high
line loss, one sees a very favorable SWR "downstairs" even when there is
a poor match "upstairs."
