I'm also saying that the voltage (potential) between two points
depends, in general, on the path you take between the two points. You
should be _especially_ aware of that fact when you're in the presence
of time-varying magnetic fields, such as you have around a powered
antenna.


In practice that will means that the voltage you measure between say the
end of a whip and ground will depend on how you choose to route the
connecting leads to the voltmeter, and how you connect to ground... and
above (below?) all on what you define "ground" to be.
