But it doesn't, Jim. Both Kraus and EZNEC agree that
standing wave current phase varies by only ~3 degrees
over the entire length of a 180 degree wire dipole
(referenced to the phase at the feedpoint).

You're always trying to drag other people into your messes. So now, in
addition to waves of average power and the 4th mechanism of reflection,
we have waves that don't change phase. :-)

Fine business OM.
