If the product of 'frequency * wavelength' equals infinity then one of
the terms MUST be INFINITE by definition [Corollary: If both are finite
the product is finite].

So, which one is infinite??? Why is it infinite?? How can you prove it
is infinite?

Velocity = frequency x wavelength.

The product, frequency x wavelength must be infinite if velocity is
infinite.

Directors and reflectors in parasitic antenna arrays exhibit phase
(time) delays which depend on element spacings and these spacings are
likely within the near field. I`ve never heard of any velocity
corrections to the phasing required by near field immersion.

I`m missing something here.
