Good point, Andy. I never thought to use the complex impedance
measurement capability of the LP-100A to see what the exact load
impedance was with the old configuration. If I have occasion to do any
modifications on my 20-15-10 dipole, I'll try to remember to document
the before and after load impedances (if it changes anything).

I have published actual test data that shows the very strong influence of PA
load on PA dissipation for my KPA500. SWR is not a good indicator of the load
mismatch. You must consider the complex load impedance to see the real picture.
