This is the coolest demo of transmission line effects I've ever seen. Just imagine Oliver Heaviside was around to see this. Would have blown his mind.

Hey, Oliver, your theory is cool and all. But now some guy in his basement can measure it happen in real time with a couple hundred bucks worth of gear.
