[Elecraft] Measuring SWR (Long)

[Roy Koeppe]

"...Let's allow the reflected power to increase all the way to <gasp> 10 
watts! At that point, your SWR would be about 2 to 1. Sounds pretty bad, but 
surely if you were stranded in the desert and had to use your KX3 and a wire 
to get help, you'd be happy to have a match this good...(etc.)"


>From memory now, at 2 to 1...feedline voltage nodes and current nodes can 
double -- no small thing when power is 1500 watts; can stress antenna system 
components.
