I agree Beetle, its not different from HAM to CB, only a lot of wrong roomors of this and that from someone who dare to call themselves a TECH.

As long as the antenna is not as efficient as it perfectly can be, the readings close to the radio dont mean anything to me. If one still believe in adjusting swr by cutting coax thats their problem. But if i see that in my system i take away all coax, put a meter at the feedingpoint of my antenna and start new installation troubleshooting for bad earthing rf current flow etc, because then something is wrong.

Only exeption is for co-phased antennas.

Nice to run into you again Beetle, my handle earlyer was NORWEGIAN.
