Fact 3.

The radiation pattern of a short vertical is fixed and remains independent
of the location/height of the loading coil.


True for practical purposes. People using antenna modeling programs, or
people adept with analytical techniques, will find a small difference in
pattern as the loading coil is moved, due to the changed current
distribution. But it's an inconsequential difference.

The whole phenomenon is not static. The incident and reflected waves
move. It is their interference patterns, the standing waves, which are
static.

Cecil wisely called them the rms values. I assumed it understood that
the RF (a-c) voltages and currents are expressed as their rms values
unless otherwise specified. Everyone should know that a-c is an acronym
for alternating current which, of course, alternates,
