Roy, I'll tell you the same thing I told W8JI. It's time to stop
the ad hominem attacks and discuss the technical issues.
You tried to use standing wave current, containing no phase, to
measure the delay through a coil. You have said previously that
standing wave current flows just like traveling wave current.
You said that in spite of what Hecht says in "Optics".
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 wave light doesn't move through space, then standing wave
RF doesn't move through a wire. Do you disagree with Hecht?
