Hey, Jesper, you quote one of the SWR formulas I been using for years.
Two things; SWR is easier to visualize if you ever worked with Letcher
lines.  Also, a long time ago when open wire transmission lines was the
way to go, and plastic twin lead was being developed, we used a small
pair of matched square loops and two GE47 6.0 Volt lamps which attached
to the transmission lines.  Anyone who was well grounded in basic
electronics had a hard time understanding why one lamp would be lit while
the other wouldn't.  We put those little loops inside coaxial cable, but
it never worked too well.   I think that from a cold start it would be
easier to learn Danish than English.  You must have much practice with
English.  I spent some time in Neidersachen which is up your way.
