[AMPS] Thanks for BIRD meter info!

"Don't forget that to measure VSWR, you need a slug for "reflected" reading
that's several times more sensitive than the one used for "forward" power.
If you're a Bird user, you already knew that...!

Do you mean that forward power is not supposed to equal reflected power?  I
thought 1:1 was what we were trying to achieve.  How are we going to heat
the shack if all the power goes elsewhere?  If the power leaks out of the
antenna, most of it is wasted - because it goes where no one is.  If it is
reflected, I know where all of it goes.
