Why?
what your aiming to achieve is pointless, have you any idea how many idiots have died in the past 4 decades falling off roofs/towers trying to achieve this mythical achievement.
heres the straight fact, no cb bullshit.
yes 1.0:1 vswr can be achieved, but only on one single frequency, as soon as you move from that frequency reactance changes the vswr, just because cb swr meters (infact swr meters in general) are too innacurate to read the tiny change in swr ratio from say maybe 1.0:1 to 1.00001:1 doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
second point most swr meters are analogue volt maters, which for the most part read most accurately in the centre region of the scale, look at the markings on it, they aren't so close together/compressed at one end as the other and the middle has most equal division of scale, this tells you it isn't linear therefore won't be as accurate at all points.
most transceivers will easily tolerate a 2.0:1 mismatch without much change in performance. many will tolerate 3.0:1, transceivers with the motorola mrf 477 final were capable of facing into 10:1 vswr due to the rugged design of the motorola device.
if i go in the car for a short time out mobile, and i key up on the magmount and my swr is 2.0 or 3.0:1, am i f@ck moving my arse to make it slightly better, i've never blew a linear in my life or an output transistor, i'll still sit and confidently call anywhere on the planet when skips running.
here's the point all the guys are getting frustrated trying to tell you,
vswr just isn't that important, perfect vswr is a myth, just like antron A99's 9.9 dbi gain.
spend more time on the radio,less time dicking about with the antenna, quality dx doesn't require perfection and as a bonus you'll find life less stressful.
