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
