One thing I'm wondering about is how can the worst conditions for
the transmitter be generated?? Using a passive network of course.?
Connecting to another transmitter is going too far.
People say there are two options, high voltage and high current,
obviously both need to be considered.
Is there anything worse than an open or shorted transmission
line? Both reflect all the power back to the transmitter (ignoring
losses) and what you get back depends on the electrical length of
the line and the frequency.
As for monitoring SWR and using it to reduce power, bring it on!
