Shame on you for measuring current that doesn't flow through a current
transformer.


Standing wave net current doesn't flow back and forth
along the wire. That's why they call it a *standing* wave.
Why don't you know that already? At any point on the
wire, the H-fields and E-fields are exchanging energy at
the frequency of operation. That's certainly enough reason
for an inductive pickup to respond.

Why is that a surprise to you or Roy? Because you two
mistakenly thought net standing wave current flows and
ignorantly measured it? All you measured was the
orthogonal exchange of energy between the two fields.
Nothing was moving except the underlying forward and
reflected currents. Isn't this stuff taught anymore?

What have you guys done - gotten together and elected
yourselves into a club of omniscient gurus? Please take
a look at the laws of reflection physics. It appears that
you are ignorant of most of them.
