Hookedon6, I don't get the distinction you're trying to make between, vswr and VSWR, but that 1/2 wave you describe using at the feed point will not necessarily show a correct reading at both ends as you suggest...unless the antenna (load) is purely resistive (a perfect match) and the coax is 50 ohms too, in addition to the comments Mack posted. With antennas...close is good enough and to chase the perfect match can be like chasing your own tail.
