John,
I connected an RF ammeter to my loop this morning.  It reads 9.9 amps.
I also have an RF ammeter connected to my transmitter output and it reads 2
amps at the same time.
If we assume that the impedance from the tuner to the transmitter is 43
ohms, then the power output  is 172 watts
and the loop resistance is about 1.75 ohms.   How does that sound to you?

Ted, XYW
