Default Standing wave on feeders

Standard antennas often have a standing wave on them e.g. dipole or
quarterwave vertical.

Antenna is resonant and presenting good impedance. SWR is 1:1.

so it is either 36 or 72 ohms

If feeder is coax, is there a standing wave on coax?

50 ohm coax = yes

If feeder is open wire feeder, is there a standing wave on the feeder?

not 50 ohm twinline = yes
