A discussion on SWR

Hi Guys,

Butch had a book at Breakfast today about transmission lines. It was a nice hardcover from the ARRL.

So when I got home, I tried to look for something useful on the Internet with Google and found a good page that talked about forward power, reverse power and SWR.

A lot of us have power meters. You can make the SWR calculation with a pocket calculator if it has a square root button.

I have some antennas I need to tune up for 6 and 10m. So SWR is a good thing to know about.
