more DOO (Degrees Of Obfuscation) to his already formidable toolbox of
obscuring and misdirecting techniques. Oh well.

Roy, why must you resort to ad hominem attacks?
Does it mean that you are incapable of winning the
argument on technical merit?

You have even proved yourself and W8JI wrong about
using standing-wave current to "measure" the delay
through a 75m loading coil and don't even seem to
realize it. Here's the equation you posted:

v(t, x) = 2 * cos(x) * sin(wt)

The equation for I(t, x) would be similar with a
90 degree offset. Please come down from your ivory
tower and explain how that current can be used to
measure delay through a coil.

The point I was making is when imagination is allowed
to run wild in religion or in technical arguments,
anything is possible in the human mind. There simply
has to be a limit oriented to reality.

When a cable is cut at a point where it is known to
be transferring energy in both directions, it is no
longer transferring energy in both directions. That
is reality. No flights of fantasy will change that
technical fact.
