[Steve Katz] Isn't the reverse line termination power diminished by
the return loss? That is, if VSWR = 2.0, then reverse line power would be
10W reduced by 10dB, or 1W?

[Steve Katz] You may be right about that...I haven't measured the
port decoupling at HF in many years, and don't recall if it's 20 dB or
not...never mattered, since for my applications, the more, the better!
