The vswr on the coax is 75/50 with a perfect 50R load. Measuring with a 50
ohm vswr meter will show vswr from 1:1 to 2.25:1 depending on the line
length.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] 75 ohm - v - 50 ohm coax
If the antenna has an impedance of 50 Ohms, and the coax is close to a
quarter-wave or odd multiple long, you'll see an SWR(50) of 2.25:1 at
the shack end instead of 1:1.

## I thought it would be just 75/50 = 1.5:1
