Just as I told and You confirmed, the real power is not directly measured by 
a bird wattmeter when load isn't 50 Ohms.
The real power (when a reflected power is existing) is only obtainable by 
subtracting reflected power by the forward reading.
Thermocouple meters might be not so precise as a Bird 43 is, but power 
measurement is direct.
