>From Reflections III by W2DU:  "Second, in the Navy Navigational Satellite
(NAVSAT), which is used for precise position indi- cations for ships at
sea, the antenna terminal impedance at 150 MHz is 10.5 – j48 ohms, for an
SWR of 9.3, reflected power 65%. Also matched at the input to the feed
line, the matched-line attenu- ation is 0.25 dB, and the additional loss
from SWR is 0.79 dB, for a total system loss of 1.04 dB. This equates to
approximately one-sixth of an S unit. This is an insignificant amount of
loss for this sit- uation, even in a space environment where power is at a
premium."

The title of the chapter is "Too low an SWR can kill you."
