I'm sorry, but that is a false statement. Measuring the forward
or reflected traveling wave, which is less than 10% of the
total energy on the antenna, is exactly what is the problem.


Let me amend that statement which is misleading.

The standing wave current on a standing wave antenna,
which w7el used for his measurements, accounts for 90+%
of the total current. He essentially measured total
current, not traveling wave current.

I think if you contacted Roy directly, he will admit
that fact.
