Yes, you did, in the part that you deleted. Here it
is again:

In a standing wave antenna problem, such as the one you describe,
there is no remaining phase information. Any specific phase
characteristics of the traveling waves died out when the startup

Phase is gone. Kaput. Vanished. Cannot be recovered. Never to be
seen again.

What I *did* say, and it is still true today, is that there is no
difference between a standing wave and its *constituent* traveling wave
components.

The constituent traveling wave components possess changing
phase. The standing wave doesn't possess changing phase.
You are contradicting yourself.
