It obviously has an effect on the standing wave. In no
way can Wes's current waveform be called a cosine function.
However, we know that the current and voltage are in
phase at the feedpoint and at the tip of the antenna.
It is impossible for them to be in phase anywhere else.

It would be better if you provided some sort of demarcation between the
well known facts and the pensive speculation in your posts. :-)
It's all simple physics, Jim, aided by a measured IQ of 168.

Ouch Cecil, I think you need to come down a bit!
We are not prehistoric mammals when compared to what you
perceive your self to be. Do you really want to be a clone of Roy
where you can flout yourself as superior to all?
You have had your fun with all those wave things that
you have foisted upon others but rubbing it in regarding
how clever you are compared to other mortals will not
allow anger that has festered to decline.

Relax, Art. Cecil has just provided us with the size of his fuel tank.
He hasn't told us if it is full or near the "E" mark.

My nephew, who is also a member of MENSA, recently
went to a job interview. On his resume, he listed
his MENSA membership. The interviewer, who would
have been his future boss said, "You're a member
of MENSA? You want my job, don't you?" My nephew
took the MENSA line off his resume. :-)

I'd be interested in hearing why people bother to join MENSA and why
they'd attend meetings. Where's the fulfillment in standing around in a
room full of folks congratulating each other on how smart they are?

It isn't the numbers in your IQ which are important, Cecil, it is what
you do with 'em.

Because they are interested in what is said, rather than who said
it--something which you will NEVER understand--give up now ...

They get together, discuss intellectual topics,
and then jump into bed. :-)

So the meetings tire them out?

I went along to a couple of meetings many years ago. Full of under
achievers with high IQ's complaining how they weren't being recognised
or credited in their exams/career/promotion ladder/etc.

Intelligence is like talent. It is a gift.

It can be more like a curse. There's nothing quite like a number of
teachers telling Junior's parents that Junior is gifted.

What you do with it is what is important. Just because you have one or the
other is almost irrelevant if you don't have the other tools needed to be
sucessful.

I feel like such a piker here - I'm only 150........

You don't look that old, Mike.

You can't tell me that these mental sharpies can remember what was said,
but not who said it, "John". I'd prefer hearing a few things of worth
than a lot of things of little worth.

I am sorry, I just can't put it in simpler terms for you to digest.

WOW, deja vu, I have seen parents beat down children because the lesser
intellect-ed parent feels threatened, lessened, unimportant (and
usually, rightly so)--this is a sorry thing to watch in a workplace. To
watch it occur in a family is nothing less than utterly disgusting.

So much opposed to the wholesome and functional family which devotes all
to the importance of the individual and encouragement of the youngsters
to out achieve the parents ...

Where was/is child protective services when the kids need 'em?

If one is a control freak, keeping silent on these affairs allows one to
keep their illness hidden ... the terms you use are a dead give away.

"John", I'm sorry you're having difficulties in making it more simple.

So you'd have me believe that you're a MENSA member? Do you attend
under your pseudonym?

Did you, by the way, mean "principles" or did you really intend the word
"principals"? That's very "strang".

Wow, "John", you managed to read in some things never written by me. I
wrote nothing of parents being threatened, lessened or feeling
unimportant. I've never watched any parents exhibiting such practices
in their or a child's workplace either.

The curse is that the parents often place unreasonable expectations for
success on a child marked as gifted. You must feel like a fool right
about now.

So much opposed to the wholesome and functional family which devotes all
to the importance of the individual and encouragement of the youngsters
to out achieve the parents ...

What is so much opposed, "John"?

Where was/is child protective services when the kids need 'em?

Why would such an agency be needed, "John"?

If one is a control freak, keeping silent on these affairs allows one to
keep their illness hidden ... the terms you use are a dead give away.

I think you might have been better served not to comment on things not
written, "John".
