Match your antenna, feedline and transmitter to a 1.0000001:1 VSWR
Let the antenna tuner (or whatever you wish to call it) handle that 5:1 VSWR
Have several lengths of cable to change the R+jX value for your antenna tuner.
Milliseconds or microseconds of reflections.
Lossless lines or lossy lines.

It don't matter!

All antennas follow Gooch's Law: The RF gotta go somewhere!

But keep those interesting discussions coming anywuz. My mind's made up so
don't confuse me with the facts.
