RW>BTW, SWR is a combined function of the feedline and the antenna, *not*
RW>power level. Your readings indicate either a poor SWR meter or one that
RW>is affected by RF. 0.1 watt or 1500 watts input to a particular
RW>antenna *system* (feedline *and* antenna) should yield exactly the same
RW>SWR.

I haven't done a lot of antenna theory research, but I always thought that
increased power means increased resistance thus equalling higher SWRs.
During my 11 meter days when I would run lot of power SWRs would come up,
and I had a really nice system, good coax, and so forth.  My SWR meter is a
Para Dynamics PDC9 dual band SWR meter.
