Be careful using those "additional loss due to SWR" tables; in some circumstances the unmatched cable loss can be *less* than its matched loss.

One needs to consult the published charts and tables to determine the matched loss for a given type of feedline and then an additional table to add the loss value when the feedline is operated with some value of SWR other than a 1:1 condition or matched condition.
