You really mean that Roy, or am I misreading?

Yes, I mean exactly what I said.

I agree that no 'average' value of power is reflecting, but with a
mismatch at the antenna terminals, voltage/current is definitely
sloshing back and forth on the line making standing waves at .25L
intervals that we can physically probe and measure...

Then we agree on both points.
