Antennas work the same way. Any change in current along the antenna must
be accompanied by a change in stored charge.

The net (total) current on a standing-wave antenna is the phasor sum
of the forward current and reflected current and can change simply
because it is part of a standing wave. The change in net current at
the tip of a standing-wave antenna simply means that the energy has
moved from the H-field into the E-field.

"The current and voltage distributions on open-ended wire antennas are
similar to the standing wave patterns on open-ended transmission lines ...
Standing wave antennas, such as the dipole, can be analyzed as traveling
wave antennas with waves propagating in opposite directions (forward and
backward) and represented by traveling wave currents If and Ib ..."
