Not really.
If you subtract the reflected power from the forward power, you get
the true power delivered to the load.
In the case you detailed it is 200F-200R=zero watts.
Like most rigs, your Heathkit will deliver zero watts to an open
load. The rest is reactive power caused by the high power factor of
the open load.
