John, would you care to comment on those six points?

Hello, Cecil, and I think Roy and others have provided valid comment. I
would like to recommend, in addition to the ARRL publications, the
Schaum's Outline on transmission lines. I don't know if it's still in
print but it was authored by Chipman. Like the other paperback Schaum's
Outlines it is not intended to be an in-depth examination of RF
transmission line theory (if you want that I would recommend King and
Harrison's book). Chipman's book, OTOH delves into the theory at a
level that IMHO doesn't require an EE degree to comprehend. There's
also loads of practical problems worked out (lots of stuff on incident,
reflected and standing waves). I think it would prove timely to pursue
sources besides r.r.a.a for your electromagnetics training. Sincerely,
