Thank you, Owen.

Do your comments apply to a transmitter designed/adjusted for, and
expecting a 50 + j 0 ohm load?

IOW, if the net output power of such a transmitter (which equals that
dissipated in the load) probably is different with such a mismatch, do
you expect the reason for that to be related to "reflected power?"

We've had this discussion many times before, but with no apparent change
in your perceptions of the nature of "reflected power".

But why would you expect the "reflected power" to have a different
effect when the transmission line is a quarter wavelength than when it's
a half wavelength? Can you write an equation giving the supposed
dissipation caused by "reflected power" as a function of transmission
line length?
