[TenTec] Built in SWR meter bannans

[Steve Hunt]

Certainly Sevick's books are some of the very few available on the 
topic, but I'm not sure I would call them "definitive works". I know 
that may appear to be heresy, but I've now "invested" in 3 of Sevick's 
books, and I have to say I'm less than impressed with some aspects.

For example:

* Pretty well all of his measurements relate to the differential-mode 
performance of baluns - I can't find any significant measurements on 
their CM performance
* His understanding of what drives CM current at a coax-fed dipole's 
feedpoint is flawed
* He seems to think you can wind a 4:1 Guanella balun on a single core
