It`s possible. The method of moments (MOM) is one way I`m accustomed to
solving civil and mechanical problems. I learned from the newsgroup that
antenna modelers had appropriated the term when I explained the
mechanical process on-line.

Or, based on further thought, he may be talking about the forward-traveling
wave plus the reflected traveling wave on a standing wave antenna. Please
see my other posting. The fields generated by those two traveling-waves
are superposed upon each other in the vicinity of a standing-wave wire
antenna and can certainly put them out of time phase with each other.
