I followed it accurately. If the antenna is resonant (frequency) the
impedance drops to a value which is dependant on distance from ground.
Away from resonance the impedance goes high. The impedance of a
random wire is largely a function of frequency.

understand the concept) but it wasn't where the conversation led. Try to

Transmission lines have characteristic impedance, non-frequency
dependent. Antenna impedance (original question) does have a
frequency component.

A transmission line is not a generator.

Not for it's characteristic impedance. Does your coax have a different
impedance at different frequencies?

news Isn't there a frequency component?
