Answer the damn question.

Maybe one of my other postings answers the question for you.
I'm not prevaricating or deviating. I'm answering the questions
to the best of my ability. Gene's posting is one of the best
answers to Tom's questions that I have seen. Gene says there is
ZERO information in standing wave phase. I agree with Gene.

Except for this particular subject I have great admiration for you
knowledge and have learned from you. This subject seems to be your
bugaboo. I have completely lost track of what the object of the exercise
is.

The object of the exercise is to prove that standing wave current
phase cannot be used to measure the phase through a wire or coil
or anything else. The phase of a standing wave is already known
and is unchanging. The only phase information in a standing wave
current is contained in the amplitude.
