Hello, Reg. What I didn't understand was your statement

"Reflections are
functions of TIME, not frequency." That statement immediately

invited
conflict with the info contained in my electromagnetics and

transmission
line theory texts lining my office bookshelf. I attempted to

provide some
clarification and hopefully not insult anyone's intelligence.

Sincerely,

Hi John,

Your comments were perfectly inoffensive to anyone. Sorry if I gave
you the impression that I thought so.

I don't agree that my statement about Time and Reflections is in
conflict with transmission line theory as described in the books
(bibles) lining your office shelves.

We diverge because my education was probably altogether different to
yours and so we don't speak the same language.

Time is represented in Phase Shift. Reflections are echos. Line
Length = Distance. Propagation Velocity = Distance vs Time.
