Default SSB reflected power?

As I was told by a local radio pro, "Welcome to the world of HF".

I installed ferrites and line isolators and still all kinds of weird ****
happens when I broadcast. Unless you want to get into Faraday Cages etc, it
is just something you learn to live with.

Well, now that my SSB is up and running, I have one more minor problem ( I
think). Whenever I key up the mike to talk, some of the electronics go

nuts,
like the Link 20 (near the grounding foil), the VHF goes blank and one of
those "touch" 110 lamps goes on and off. The radio tech that got me up and
running said these were symptoms of reflected power. I'm using a 23'

digital
antenna, and seem to be transmitting well. Is there anything I can do

about
this, or should I even be worried about it?
