I am in total agreement with Mike. Lots of folk place a great deal of faith in the power measurement capabilities of their SWR meters and indeed in the Bird...
The person who set my rigs up used my Weltz dummy load and his Drake meter that measures forward and reflected power. But the person that did my rigs also...
Since you do not use it any longer - are you interested in selling it? I have a friend who may wish to buy it. Vy73 - Mike - KD9KC. El Paso, Texas - DM61rt. ...

To the folks on my two favorite reflectors... Thanks for a great 2010! One year ago: - I had never transmitted on HF - I had held, maybe, a dozen simplex QSOs ...
