If I understand correctly: (some may doubt it, hi):
The resonant frequency is the frequency when there is zero reactive
(capacitive or inductive) component. Regardless of the actual
impedance/resistance. This goes for antennas and lumped component
circuits.
You can tune around for minimum swr, but that doesn't guarantee you are
at resonance.
And you can have a high swr, but a resonant load. (If it were, say, a
300 ohm resistive dummy load)
