Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

Richard H.,
He is stuck on DC in a coil. Tom did not discover Standing Waves,
Impedances, Currents, Voltages in RF circuits, antennas, feedlines.
Helooooo! IT'S RF and standing waves along the resonant antenna and things
to do with RF energy along them radiators, like sin and cos distribution of
voltage and current. Which show that current and voltage can be ZERO along
the conducting wire, aka antenna. First he used Kirchoff, now is Maxwell to
the "rescue" to muddy the waters.
Maybe we should apply for him for vanity callsign WR0NG :-)

The wave travels along both wires simultaneously. The wires in the
dissipation line melt at the input end not at the far end where the wire
is smaller. Current does not travel through the line like the utility
power frequency through a string of Christmas tree lights.

Tom needs to get with the reality of the program. His idea is seriously
flawed.


I take it you are saying you think current can flow two directions at
the same instant of time in a conductor, can be "lost" from a single
conductor through radiation and resistance without a shunting
impedance, conservation of charge isn't important, and Maxwell's
equations are wrong.

You know that because you installed antennas at one point in your life.
Is that correct or did I misunderstand your post?
