By us i mean all the competent engineers here, including Win, JT, JF, and many others. The list does not include the potty mouth prone misfits.
Somewhere in a this thread or a variant someone proposed that the power is somehow stored in the transmission line. That would result in an ever increasing stored energy; sooner or later the voltages and currents involved would destroy the conductors and insulators. (And promptly for transmitters above a few watts, with more that 1% mismatch.)
