If SWR doesn't matter, then why do I need to tune my antenna
or use an automatic tuner if all the reflectedd power eventually gets

I'm not sure. Gary must know some secret magic the engineers never
thought of. I'm gonna detune my linear's 4-1000A twins so the power
will reflect back up the cable to the beam, from now on!
