Yes, and w7el has verified that fact either on this
newsgroup or another newsgroup. If you have EZNEC,
you can easily verify it for yourself - anyone can.

It's absurd to talk about waves that don't change phase, Cecil. If 'it'
does not change phase in some dimension, then 'it' is not a wave. Again
I refer you to a table of sines.

Here's what Hecht said in "Optics" regarding standing
wave phase: "It (the standing wave phasor) doesn't
rotate at all, and the resultant wave it represents
doesn't progress through space - its a standing wave."

Hecht knew exactly what he was talking about. It's not always evident
that you know exactly what Hecht is talking about.

There's not much point in arguing with Cecil, Jim. He won't stop
playing the one-note samba until he's too old to whistle the tune.
