This fiction is entirely your own invention and trying to put Owen's
frame around your cartoon does not elevate this nonsense to art.

You have done nothing to offer any substance to your claim except the
time worn tradition of repetition, deflection, and ignoring the
observables by insisting error exists where it is not.

What reflections exist, exist at the input port of the Bird which is
50 Ohms by design, and which is attached to a 50 Ohm load by
deliberate selection. The Bird's response confirms the load, and the
rest stands on 50 years of Bird quality construction (he's not using
the poorer model with PL-259s).

Owen's work stands on its own, despite your chatter of a nabob of
negativity (apologies to our ex-VP-ex-convict of the GOP).
