Roy, this is the part I don't understand about some people posting on this
thread. A standing wave does *not* have a phase shift.


Gene said the same thing many months ago:

In a standing wave antenna problem, such as the one you describe,
there is no remaining phase information. Any specific phase
characteristics of the traveling waves died out when the startup
transients died out.

Phase is gone. Kaput. Vanished. Cannot be recovered. Never to be
seen again.
