This gives a whole new meaning to "referenced". The
antenna currents are phase-locked to the source current.
That's about as good a reference as one can get - being
phase-locked. You, like Richard C., are obviously just
pulling my leg.


Try a non-electronic example. If all the dimensions on my
house are referenced to the left front corner, when I move
the left front corner (along with the rest of the house),
none of the numerical values change.

If the dimensions are referenced to the fire hydrant, all the
measurements change by the same amount after the move.

This is your opportunity to demonstrate that you are not
like your "gurus" who never admit mistakes.

Or we could have a fun discussion about Mulroney who
recently said ""The most difficult thing in life, I think, is to
admit one's mistakes . . . ". Clearly Mulroney is not like
the rest of us who make enough mistakes that we have
plenty of practice admitting them. Oh wait. Maybe he
makes them, but just refuses to admit them. Hmmmm.
