Why doesn't someone write a book on radiating feedlines? They'd be a

A 1/2WL dipole is an open-circuit radiating feedline
complete with reflections. :-) From Balanis: "The current
and voltage distributions on open-ended wire antennas are
similar to the standing wave patterns on open-ended
transmission lines." Wasn't the original Gap antenna
simply a leaky transmission line?
