Cecil, you've proven over and over again that you're not

Allow me to disprove your opinion of me. Please respond to

The current reported by EZNEC for TravWave.EZ contains the term
cos(kz+wt) It's a traveling wave current, clearly not the same
as a standing wave current.

The current reported by EZNEC for StndWave.EZ contains the terms
cos(kz)*cos(wt) It's a standing wave current, clearly not the
same as a traveling wave current.

Current reported by EZNEC every 10% of wire #2 is presented in
the following table. The currents are obviously very different.
The phase of the traveling wave progresses from 0 to 90 deg
in 90 deg of wire. The phase of the standing wave doesn't
progress beyond 0.11 of of degree.

Some say "current is current". EZNEC disagrees. When
reflected waves are eliminated, EZNEC indeed does accurately
report traveling wave current. EZNEC reports the current
that is there, whether it is traveling wave current or
standing wave current.
