I think the circuit changed. Don't you?


The circuit changed without changing the forward power,
reflected power, and SWR so nothing of interest to the
present topic (V/I ratio) changed.

Do you know what dictates the SWR in a distributed network?
Certainly not the length of the feedline or the removal
of a tuner (assuming lossless conditions).

Well, it's certainly true that both circuits are missing the 50 ohm
impedance discontinuity in the middle, which is at least one of the
"present topics" (and my point).

I'll just go ahead and say what you really want me to say:

You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you!
