Hi Hank,

Simple enough to find out. Disconnect the output of your transmitter.
Set the drive level of your transmitter for full power. Defeat the
ALC. Key down. By the clock or watch, take notes at 1 minute
intervals for, say, 10 minutes. Prepare notes into report. Submit
report here. Total time to perform: 30 seconds - 30 minutes depending
mostly on access to the ALC defeat.

This answers all equivocations about does/doesn't; will/won't;
might/mightn't; could/couldn't; or can/can't. Think about it, you
have probably spent more time than that writing to and reading from
this thread to no certain conclusion.

This place is where one can just about learn anything or nothing or learn
incorreclty. AKA the politics of reflections.

Is there any objective reality when it comes to reflections? How do we
really know?

Well perhaps I should reword my comment. It seems like many responders are
getting into the politics of reflections, some into the theory but I believe
it's a science and should be explainable. Theories are used to explain what
goes on inside a black box that we can't open, just an input and output.
But a shorted 1/4 wave stub is about as far as you can get from a black
box.. I'm curious!
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people asking and that's me.

Originally you asked:
so how does a stub work?

Hi Hank,

Seems like several many have offered the simple mechanics to satisfy
the question.

Would you like to comment why they did not? If you find the
reflection based argument tedious (and it can be that in spades); then
perhaps you should offer an outline of the terms to be employed or the
constraints of the stub's application to reduce shot-gun answers that
bloat the thread.

The solid-state political creed seeks to discredit reflections by using
only the solid-state shortcut physics. These shortcuts certainly work,
but they do not dictate reality. Man, not Mother Nature, takes those
shortcuts. Witness the inability of anyone to present an example of
the existence of standing-waves in a single source, single feedline,
single mismatched load system, without the existence of a forward-
traveling wave and a rearward-traveling (reflected) wave.

The same solid-state political creed dictates the definition of source
power. It says that if reflected power is taken in the source, then
it was never generated in the first place. Never mind that energy can
be proven to have made a round-trip to the load and back to the source.

Hi Dave,

I offered a very simple test. There is the path of an objective
result, or the path of a subjective and ponderous appeal.

You do have a rig, do you not? You could perform the several steps to
come to a conclusion I presume - otherwise disabuse me of this talent
I inferred in your behalf and state which political party you are
affiliated with.

First, you must prove that you are a member of objective reality.
That's a very difficult assignment, given most of your postings. :-)

too simple to perform, hmm?

In the absence of an observer there is no objective reality.

In the absence of an observer any reality, if it exists, is unknowable.

I observe, therefore ...
