Or, as in one of the suggestions: with an SWR anticipator meter showing  
vswr at T+30 seconds!

Thanks  to all for your comments on this.  

One last question, where do I  find one of these torque wrenches with a SWR
meter in it?     ;-)

For those  that don't get it, a few did, once you feel the torque drop the
bolt has  already reached its limit and is broken.
Once you see the SWR go up it is  most likely too late.

Well crap, that explains a lot, it is just "before"  they snap!

...    Just like tightening head  bolts on a V8. You torque the bolts
until
just before you fill  them give and they snap.
