Sorry, Tom, I cannot take credit for reflected waves on standing
wave antennas. That you didn't realize that you were dealing with
a standing wave antena is part of your problem.

Kraus: "A sinusoidal current distribution may be regarded as the standing
wave produced by two uniform (unattenuated) traveling waves of equal
amplitude moving in opposite directions along the antenna."

Balanis: "The sinusoidal current distribution of long open-ended linear
antennas is a standing wave constructed by two waves of equal amplitude
and 180 degree phase difference at the open-end traveling in opposite
directions along its length."

Balanis: "The current and voltage distributions on open-ended wire
antennas are similar to the standing wave patterns on open-ended
transmission lines."

Balanis: "Standing wave antennas, such as the dipole, can be analyzed
as traveling wave antennas with waves propagating in opposite directions
(forward and backward) and represented by traveling wave currents ..."
