Unless a close and very powerful signal is saturating any antenna, it would be a myth to say that skip affects its SWR. WW's answer is most correct - IMO... | To keep it honest SWR is the ratio of minimum to maximum current or voltage at the load end of an R.F. generator.
Reflected power is not entirely absorbed by the final amp. |

Maybe. The problem is there are others reading who don't know that. Some people have almost total recall of what they read. Less than correct posts must be repaired otherwise someone will regurgitate it 20 years from now. |

That was my reason for my reply.

Hey Booty,
Now you know better than to challenge the Professional CB Radio Operator Gods, after all they are the self appointed experts who know far more than anyone else on the planet and can argue down every known proven law of physics ever discovered with their time proven (I saw it on my S-Meter) tests.  .
