Cecil,

Until you try to understand the difference between current in a
conductor and power radiated into space, this is a hopeless debate.

There are several important relationships among charge, current,
E-fields, voltage, and H-fields. However, current is not the same as
H-field, voltage is not the same as E-field, and charge is not the same
as a radiation field.

Back to Physics 101 for you.

Some of the power radiated from an antenna does NOT return to the source.
It may even escape to outer space. Power lost from the system causes
a current drop. In fact, it is hard to separate the H-field from the
E-field for RF. I am amazed how you guys have been seduced by your math
models. Reality is supposed to dictate math models, not vise versa.
