Yikes, Cecil. Using that logic, you're basically arguing that every 1/2
WL or 180 degrees, a forward wave turns into a reflected wave.


Consider a balanced transmission line. When forward current in one wire
is flowing toward the load, the forward current in the other wire is
flowing toward the source. When reflected current in one wire is flowing
toward the source, the reflected current in the other wire is flowing
toward the load.

Moral: Be very, very careful about the when and where of t=0. Is the
top or bottom of an balanced antenna tuner link coil the output path
or the return path?
