Next, Cecil, you're going to be talking about a "current gradient"

Richard Harrison, and Yuri, too: how do you take the gradient of
the current at a point on a transmission line, and, if were possible
to do so, what is the physical significance of the result?

The standing wave current profile along, for example, a quarter wave
radiator is a cosine function. The gradient then would be the
derivative of the cosine function which is a -sine function.
