Since I'm wearing egg anyway, more can't hurt.
1. Smith Chart says 1/2 wave cable brings you all the around back to
the original load impedance (50 ohms, here). Therefore the black box of
the cable/load looks like 50 ohms, so, all should be happy. I say the
VSWR is 93/50 = 1.86:1 - this caused by the mismatch at the load end.
2. I'd like to know this one. 2.63? SQRT( 2 * (1.86 ^ 2))
