That is what I mean Jeff. If there is any SWR, by changing the length of
the line, the voltage/current changes in such a maner that at certain points
you may get a 50 ohm match at that point.


Absolutely NOT. By changing the length of a transmission you will NEVER
create the situation where you get a 50 ohm match from an initial mismatch.

How about a section of transmission line with one impedance of some
length attached to a section of transmission line with a different
impedance of random length?

That is not the same situation as changing the length of a transmission
line of the same impedance which is what we are discussing.

OK; I thought that was totally settled.
