Even when the only transmission line consists the output connector of

There will NOT be standing waves and there will not be a voltage
maximum and a voltage minimum unless there is a transmission line.

Are you saying that for a standing wave to qualify as a standing wave,
the transmission line needs to be long enough for there to be a voltage
maximum a voltage minimum?

Ian,

It's been very interesting to follow the stupid posting of some who
claim to know the laws of physics.

But then nothing I've have seen in this thread has surprised me in the
least.
