Default Standing morphing to travelling waves. was r.r.a.a Laugh Riot!!!

So it was, so it is, and so shall it always be to demonstrate a
dramatic variation of CURRENT. All rather standard stuff. The SWR
report from EZNEC is source based, ...


That's your stupid mistake. The SWR on the wire is load-
based and is equal to 1.025:1, close enough to call that
wire a traveling-wave configuration. If you are so stupid
that you don't even recognize your stupid mistake, I don't
think anything can be done for you.

The load is 411 ohms. The Z0 of the wire is close to 411
ohms. The SWR on the wire is close to 1:1. It is a traveling
wave configuration essentially devoid of standing waves.
The traveling wave current pattern is obvious.
