Suuurrrre it is. You've got 90 degrees on the brain, Cecil.
Next, you'll be talking about 90 degree equilibrium.

The technical content of your posting is noted, Tom.
I gave you the opening to nail my hide to the wall.
Is this the best technical argument that you have?

Please describe how 45 electrical degrees of transmission
line can be brought to 1/4WL resonance without help
from discrete components.
