Heh, heh, so you don't believe there is a current drop between the
current maximum point and current minimum point on a transmission
line with reflections? Seems to me going from 2 amps at a current
maximum to 0.1 amps at a current minimum is a measurable drop in
total current.

Would you please provide a proof that going from 2 amps to 0.1 amps
is NOT a drop in total current?

Just one more example of trying to use lumped circuit analysis methods
on distributed network problems. Are you guys ever going to learn?

Hint: With distributed networks involving an appreciable percentage of
a wavelength, there are definitely current drops in the series loop.
This certainly applies to 75m Bugcatcher coils used on standing-wave
mobile antennas.

Next, Cecil, you're going to be talking about a "current gradient"
and a "scalar current field." Here's a question for you, Cecil, and
Richard Harrison, and Yuri, too: how do you take the gradient of
the current at a point on a transmission line, and, if were possible
to do so, what is the physical significance of the result?
