On the other hand, the standing wave, which is nothing more than the
superposition of the forward and reflected waves, easily demonstrates
the effect the propagation delay has on the forward and reflected waves.

But the phase information in the forward and reflected
waves does not appear as phase information in the standing
wave. The forward and reflected phase information appears
in the standing-wave amplitude. That is another error that
W8JI and W7EL made. The different amplitudes of standing-
wave current at each end of a coil is NOT caused by losses
and radiation. It is caused by superposition of the forward
and reflected waves. It would still happen if there was zero
losses and zero radiation.

Don't flatter yourself, Cecil. You're not that much smarter than
everybody else in the room.

Not smarter - just more observant. I saw something that
nobody else was looking for. It is only closed minds that
are the problem now.

Yes. Seek and ye shall find.

A perspective which apparently shifts depending on which side of the
room you happen to be standing.

My mind is open, Jim, but since you refuse to enter into
a technical discussion, I am not likely to change mine.
