Reg:

Compared to current, voltage is just so ephemeral....

Voltage is a line integral, it depends upon the path over which one
evaluates the integral.

While current is something more substantial... one does not have to
plan the path of integration to know the current.

What?

In view of the nil replies to the following posting it's safe to say
that's
another old wives' tale which bites the dust.

The next ingrained tale on the list is the so-called SWR meter nonsense
versus the TLI.

=========================

A TALE OF TWO OLD WIVES

There are two cantankerous old wives:

One old wife asserts it is obvious radiation occurs mainly from the
middle
portion of a dipole because that's where the current is strongest and
the
magnetic field is most concentrated.

The other old wife asserts it is obvious radiation occurs mainly from
the
ends of a dipole because that's where the highest voltages occur and the
electric field is most intense.

Since the pair of arguments are logically identical in form they are of
equal validity. But because it is impossible to reconcile the two women
....
they cannot BOTH be right .... only one conclusion can be drawn ...

... both arguments are false!

The old wives are telling tales. Citizens - drag 'em off to that old
English
custom - the ducking stool.
