Howard,

I posted the formula earlier.  But, 50 watts back is a helluva high SWR, a lot
more than 3:1.

I remember from the earlier days, I had a relative watt-meter which read
forward and reverse and you'd look up the SWR on a plastic sheet.  It had the
graph plotted and if your reflected power was hals of the forward power, the
SWR was stupendously high.

If you don't believe me, try calculating it using a hamcalc program.

It's some kind of formulaic thing.
3/1 would be 100 forward and 50 back.
2/1 I think is 125 back, 1.5 would be 12.5 watts back etc.
