Exactly. The reflected current has made s round trip of 180 degrees plus
the reflection has added another 180 degrees for a total of 360 degrees
or back in phase with the forward current at the feedpoint.

At the open circuited ends of a resonant antenna there is almost double
the forward voltage


Could you tell us if the "almost double voltage" is the measured of
theoretically predicted?
