That's the phase of the standing wave current which W7EL used
to make meaningless measurements.

Everyone else who has joined in on this thread agrees; there is no
meaningful phase characteristic for a standing wave.


Are you retracting your earlier statement just because its
technical accuracy disagrees with your friend's misconceptions?

The only "phase" remaining is the cos (kz) term, which is really
an amplitude description, not a phase.

If you retract your statement then you contradict his other statement
that nothing is lost during superposition. You guys simply cannot
have it both ways. Why not stick with technical accuracy?


Cecil,

I am really puzzled. I cannot see even one inconsistency in my
statements, including those you quote.

What is the problem?

What is there to "retract"?
