Of course, I regularly obtain 200 watts of forward
power from my 100 watt IC-706. It's all due to
constructive interference.

If you have a bright ring exhibiting 2 joules/sec/unit-area
and a dark ring exhibiting zero joules/sec/unit-area,
don't you see how that averages out to the average
source power of one joule/sec?

As I said before, this ain't rocket science.

That is for damn sure. :-)

Glad you (finally after all these years) agree.
