Make that *easily* find a reference and you will
have it correct. Just because I am lazy is not
a proof that the reference doesn't exist.

And that was what settled it. No expectation
of a reference... Then no reason for you to
argue further.

Just a minute. What about the proof I offered
that the actual reflection coefficient is 1.0
based on Bird wattmeter readings?

The Bird tells us that at the source terminals,
the forward power equals the reflected power.
rho = SQRT(Pref/Pfor) = plus or minus 1.0
