Dick,
          maybe today I'm a bit denser than the usual. If your RG213 cable was
terminated on its typical impedance, shouldn't the SWR have been 1:1  ?
The 50 ohm resistor at the end should have entirely absorbed the RF energy
with no reflections. But maybe I misunderstood you.
Thanks for any clarification.
