:-) I know they don't exist. W7EL knows that I know they
don't exist. Now if you can only get W7EL to stop falsely
accusing me of supporting the concept of "EM power waves"
you will have accomplished more than I have been able to
accomplish during the 21st century. If W7EL had not first
falsely written about me believing in "waves of average power",
I would not have to utter those words in defending myself.

I have not supported that concept since long before the
beginning of the 21st century. Jim Kelley convinced me
long ago that "power in an EM wave" is not a valid concept,
that the valid concept is "energy associated with an EM
wave". The energy is moving. The power is that energy
passing a fixed measurement point.

W7EL uses his considerable political power to try to
discredit people like me. One wonders why he chooses that
path instead of simply mounting a winning technical argument.
One wonders why he is unwilling to defend his use of
standing-wave current to try to measure the delay through
a loading coil.
