Even when the only transmission line consists the output connector of

There will NOT be standing waves and there will not be a voltage
maximum and a voltage minimum unless there is a transmission line.

Are you saying that for a standing wave to qualify as a standing wave,
the transmission line needs to be long enough for there to be a voltage
maximum a voltage minimum?

It seems to be very much like watching a train wreck. We are fascinated
by the event even though it is terrible to watch. I'm starting to get a
bit tired of it though. I can only watch the train run off the track so
many times.
