What constitutes the silence from this point on?

Nobody knows and nobody cares. All voltage to current ratios are determined
by the system outside of the transmitter. The only thing a transmitter need
furnish is a voltage (or current or power). No matter what the output Z of
a transmitter, it can put out a voltage (or current or power). What happens
inside a transmitter doesn't affect anything except transmitter efficiency.

Any coherent energy re-reflected inside the transmitter simply superposes
with the forward wave and becomes indistinguishable from the generated
power. If modulation is added and the feedline is long enough, the re-
reflection could be detected. With an unmatched TV generator and about
1000 ft of open-wire line, the TV ghosts would give an indication of how
much reflected power is actually re-reflected inside the generator. For
those who assert there are no reflections from a generator, this would
be an easy experiment to run.
