I'll admit, I always assumed that an "SWR" meter, or wattmeter, not
working into a conjugate match on the design impedance was just a field
strength meter (and thus I have the title of Amateur).
What has been said makes sense, when you consider the proper "flat top"
antenna, which I've never done, and Carl probably has done 1k times, and
Peter, too... you have a balanced feedline into a flat-top dipole...
frequency doesn't matter... all the RF that goes IN, either gets
radiated, or reflected back to the source, and then re-radiated...
I bow my heads to the elders... I didn't know that I was wrong... you
*can* derive valid info from test eqpt that you thought was wrong.
Not to change the subject, but my work took me to a quite elderly lady's
home today... quite elderly, blah blah blah blah blah. Blah. Blah. In
short, she told me her career was in electronic testing... I asked her
where..... various this, various that... HEWLETT PACKARD.... she had
nothing to say about the company after Packard and Hewlitt croaked.

But the Bird manual is very clear and even the 2 way shop users understand
that.
