Jimmie, are you stating your belief that reverse, or reflected power isn't
REAL power?

Ya gotta be kidding! Listen to your boss, he's right!

If reflected power wasnt real I wouldnt be in trouble or at least on the
shame list. I picked up 30 db pad to put on the pwer meter some body
started talking to me and I forgot to put the thing on before I took the
reading. In other words my origional reply was a kind of tongue in cheek
raz to anyone who doesnt believe reflected power is real.
