The fact that transmission lines with high SWRs suffer more

===========================

Cec, you chose the wrong argument! It proves nothing. A 600-ohm open-wire
line with high SWR can have a higher loss than even a coaxial line with
1-to-1 SWR.

That was his point, Reg. But it only shows that energy is transferred
from the source to the losses at high SWR - not that more energy bounces
around. What's Cecil say? I've been seduced by the steady-state, and I
don't understand what actually happens? Only people who have opened
themselves to the ideals of Reflectology and the Melles-Griot
translations, follow the true light.
