I'm trying to find some sort of published graphic that displays the
relationship between SWR and apparent power, as measured by a standard RF
power meter, such as the VFD.  Put another way, if the meter says my SWR is
1.8:1 and my power is 1440 watts, I want to be able to apply a factor to
know my real forward power level.  

I've looked in the Antenna Book, w/o success, though its index leaves a lot
to be desired...
