Why, then, should a transducer connected to one end of a transmisison line
(such
as the PA stage of a TX) be affected by the apparent VSWR, as we know that
it is,
but why does not the principle of superposition apply in this case?

Just curious.

I'm pleased to see that you've started drinking a little later in the day,
Gareth. That's progress, at least.
