"From the 'power's point of view, that appears like the path of least resistance, doesn't it?"
your exact words:
"Basically because RF seeks the path of least RESISTANCE/IMPEDANCE, right?"
Wrong. your analogy sucks. next time, label it as such. the statement is misleading, analogy or not. there is no "path" offering any resistance and anything rising to the level of "resistance" is not encountered until the feedpoint is reached due to the frequency rejection capabilities of all dipoles not having values of L and C corresponding to the frequency of the power being generated at the source.
"Hmm, read it again, he didn't say VSWR was an indicator of resonance".
1:1 match and is also resonant
it's implied by the connector "and" as a condition occurring
simultaneously with a 1:1 VSWR, yeah, he said it.
If you had said the "load" instead of 'loaded'....
i said what i meant and i meant what i said. an antenna or L/C circuit is said to be "loaded" when it is able to absorb power at the frequency for which it is tuned, or for which both values of L and C are present.
