Cecil's theories allows for so many possibilities ;-)

I would have loved to have invented the distributed network
model, but it was proven valid and in widespread use long
before I was born. But apparently, it has been forgotten
in the past half-century. The results are otherwise intelligent
engineers trying to use an unchanging standing wave phase to
measure the phase shift through a loading coil in a standing wave
antenna system, not realizing that the phase of the standing wave
current cannot even be used to measure the phase shift in
a piece of wire (since it is virtually unchanging).
