Right.

LOSS in the line is determined by the match between the antenna and the line.

My observation about a 70A Astron supply being insufficient is based on presenting a matched load to my Herc II using a 229 or 238. The Astron would go into protect with keydown at full power. Yes, I could have backed off the power a bit, and the supply would have been happy.
