Default W7EL's Food for Thought: Forward and Reverse Power

Which, of course, illustrates the point that I believe Roy made in the
article, that the load conditions (whether they are the result of
something going on involving a transmission line, or just a lumped
load) tell us nothing about what's going on inside a source, ideal or
otherwise.


That's true, but Roy specified exactly what was inside his source
so we are free to analyze it based on his specifications.
