When in doubt about a coaxial cables integrity, a Good Radioman will
ALWAYS run the test at BOTH ends of the cable, with his Bird, and see
just exactly how much power is being used heating up the cable. SWR is
meaningless if the cable is soaking up the RF Power and selfheating....

There's a well-intended tip, Bruce!
And I probably shouldn't mention how you should perk up your self-image:
always being so slow in coming forward and saying a good word about
yourself, an' all? :-)

All the best
