You can measure each of the two simultaneous constituents with the right
equipment. A Bird Thruline wattmeter uses a directional coupler to
separate forward direction power from reverse direction power. These are
obbtainable at the same time and place anywhere in a 50-ohm coax line.
Individual volts and amps in each direction are easily calcuable from
the powers indicated in each direction.

Richard,

You are in luck! This is Burger King day. Have it your way.
