i was reading some technical spec's on a ladder line feed.

the numbers showed it had sorta hi swr around 5 yet the power loss was
really low for it's run, like about 2watts

this confuses me, i always thought that high swr automatically ment
'loss' so what is the piece i am missing?


even stranger was the same equation as above but run for coax, which had
lower swr but higher power lost, which i then attrib to something like
the resistane of the coax?


boy i am mixed up
