I can do that, Tom, but I am standing by for an emergency
trip to New York which involves my daughter's life.

In the meantime, let's see if we can agree if 43.4 degrees
of 600 ohm line is terminated in -j567 ohms, the forward
current will be in phase with the reflected current, i.e.
the impedance looking into the line will be zero ohms. Have
you used any current reflection coefficients recently? :-)

Actually, I have. They're built into the formulas for transmission line
voltages and currents on my calculator. My calculator is a Cecil
disciple.
I hope your daughter comes through in good shape. I understand the
worry, believe me.
