Sherril, a transmission line with a high VSWR always looses more power
than the same transmission line with low VSWR.

low vswr means the antenna is radiating.  There is no coorelation 
between radiation and vswr.  A low vswr can also mean that the 
transmission line is absorbing the rf instead of delivering it to 
the antenna.  - 73's.- Corn - k4own
