I apologize for exaggerating yesterday's situation through
hyperbole, a character flaw in my tongue-in-cheek dark humor.
"Shirley, you jest" is a hint.

Oh sorry, wrong name!

Well, there it is. Cecil, if you still see any of this as an ego
thing, or merely "defending a friend"... then you haven't understood
a single word.

And here's your chance to back up those elegant words.
Here's a repeat of Roy's example:

100v
source--x----1/2WL 50 ohm feedline----+--200 ohm load
50 ohm

A 50 ohm SWR meter measures 4:1 at point 'x'. Roy says:
"But there's a Z0 match at the source in my example."
What do you say?

Miz Shirley, I don't believe I'm meant to be your partner for this
dance :-)
