Gene, here is a true/false quiz for you. If you have a
reference that disagrees with the obvious answers, please
quote it.

1. Is EM wave energy photonic in nature? ________

2. Do photons move at the speed of light in a medium? ______

3. Do standing waves move at the speed of light? _______

If the answers are yes, yes, and no, then standing waves
have been eliminated from the set of EM waves.

Cecil,

Too easy.

1. Yes, but who cares? If you want to go beyond ordinary classical
models, then most of your standard formalism about transmission lines
would need a bit of work. Classical works pretty well for HF.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.


Do I win the prize?

73,
Gene
