Tom, do you or do you not believe that standing wave current flows
into the bottom of the coil and out the top? It's a simple yes/no
question. You have earlier stated that "current is current" and
that, in spite of the different equations for for the two currents,
standing wave current moves like traveling wave current in spite
of what Hecht had to say in "Optics".

"E(x,t) = 2*Eo*sin(kx)*cos(wt) This is the equation for a STANDING
or STATIONARY WAVE, as opposed to a traveling wave. Its profile does
not move through space; it is clearly not of the form Func(x +/- vt).
.... [Standing wave phase] doesn't rotate at all, and the resultant
wave it represents doesn't progress through space - its a standing
wave."

If standing waves of light don't move through space, standing waves
of RF don't move through wires.

Time to stop the ad hominem attacks and address this technical issue.
