Also see this for example of very strong fields on coax from antenna mismatch:

[ Ссылка ]

My 15m dipole had 2.9 dB loss from cheap coax. That got fixed with LMR400. Better than hard line.

Heard the myth that SWR less than 3 is OK?

*IT ISNT.

.It causes more than just reflected power losses, and is probably transmitting DISTORTION. Not allowed by FCC.*

This Yaesu TX puts out a very weak off freq signal that sounds like SSB filter leakage, although its DSP not electrical filtering, when using the perfectly matched 15 m dipole, its MUCH stronger with a mismatch. Its barely audible from the matched antenna.
