Would that be European or African?  Laden or unladen?  What is the
humidity and air density?

My mire isn't quagged.  Quigged a bit maybe but not quagged.

>    Setup:  I have a 1/2 wave length piece of 72 ohm twin lead attached to a 1/2 wave length dipole under pristine conditions.  Now I send two equal amplitude cycles of perfect sine wave into the twin lead.  What is the approximate SWR at the end of the first cycle and second?  This is a logical question, no Smith charts, Calculus, or higher math is needed for the answer. If you're intimidated by the folks without manners, reply directly, or for those who are intrepid, to the reflector.

Are they in phase or out of phase?  180 deg out of phase?  Are they
even the same frequency?  Do those half waves take into account
velocity factor?  What is either signal's wavelength compared to that
perfect halfwave?  Are the answers in the back of the book?  Will this
be on the final?  May I consult my copy of Jones?  (Spike Jones, I
mean.)  This requires thinking and thinking makes my brain hurt.  My
brain hurts so I'm not going to think on this any more.  What's for
lunch?  Will you tell us a story after nap time?  Can I go home now?

Sorry ... stream of unconsciousness struck again ... :-)
