[TowerTalk] An Interesting Experiment

Off into the world of make believe:

Consider a LOSSLESS transmission line connected to a load with an
impedance different than that of the line (i.e, the VSWR is NOT 1:1).
Then, for the sake of argument, let us say that we can insert a
single pulse at the "generator" end of the line, and, moreover we
can disconnect the generator before the pulse reaches the load.
Where does ALL of the energy go?
