You do understand that a standing wave pattern is NOT a plot of
instantaneous voltages or currents, right?

It is whatever you define it to be, Jim. You cannot display a real-
time plot on a piece of paper. The standing wave patterns in The
ARRL Antenna Book are RMS patterns. I have also seen them plotted
as envelope patterns which is, IMO, a better representation. Whatever
is plotted on a sheet of paper is some sort of time-frozen snapshot,
by definition. EZNEC can display the relative phase of standing wave
current, or not, depending upon what you want.
