Now there's an original observation.

A traveling-wave antenna needs an SWR close to ~1:1 to be
a good example. Whether by accident or on purpose, yours
is a very poor example.


I used your Traveling Wave antenna. :-

We can both agree the data reveals the truth of it being a very poor
example.

Dear Readers.

This was another slam-dunk. It was easier than collecting
unemployment. The simplest part is using Cecil's own examples and
drilling into their fault seams. Like this one, they usually split
open and spill their contents like an overripe watermelon.

It is unlikely that any better example will arrive that bears any
resemblance to what Beverage designed, so the data once again goes
undisputed in confounding the Guru of the Airwaves.
