It's a way to "measure" the current without disturbing
the current. Do you see how the EZNEC current has a
reference phase and thus is a "snapshot" in time? Do
you see how traveling-wave current travels and standing-
wave current just appears to stand there? Since EM waves
cannot just stand there and must necessarily move at the
speed of light, a standing-wave is just an artifact of
superposition (a magical illusion for some). It has no
stand-alone existence aside from its forward and reverse
component EM waves that indeed do travel at the speed of
light (adjusted for velocity factor).

EZNEC is a great program.

Yes indeed, like the Smith Chart, it is a great antenna
tool. I've been a satisfied customer for 20 years,
since I first purchased ELNEC. ELNEC and EZNEC
have been great tutors for me. If someone doesn't
want to buy it, the free demo version of EZNEC
available from http://www.eznec.com is quite a free
lunch and although limited to 20 segments, is very
useful on wire dipoles and monopoles and learning
how they work.
