I would love to have coherent photons at HF.


The feedpoint impedance of a standing-wave antenna (like a
dipole) is (Vfor+Vref)/(Ifor+Iref). Since the Z0 of a dipole
wire is in the ballpark of 600 ohms, the interference that
results in a feedpoint impedance of 72 ohms proves the
photons are coherent.
