A length of coax sourced & terminated in other than it's characteristic
impedance will support standing waves.

** That is not so - source impedance can be any value as long as the
cable is terminated correctly.


Wavelenght depends on the cables electrical length.

** Yeah, right, velocity factor is 70% of c.


You are absolutely correct IMO with your argument.

** Huh ?


It's possible that a length of that cable could drive an SS Amp which
usually has large BW into instablity. Would be an interesting experiment.


** Good luck finding such an amp - the vast majority have output
"Zobel" networks that make them stable with any value of capacitance.

A few hundred picofarads is nothing.
