don't see any of "his buds" on the list of contributors. Certainly
Tom, Ian, Roy and I are in very close agreement about this topic.
I agree that *measuring* the voltage is a challenge.
It is worth a step back from all this, though. If the lurkers can get
the single idea that it's the _current_ distribution on an antenna
structure that ultimately matters, ...
It's hard to develop that H-field without an E-field. The feedpoint
impedance of a standing wave antenna gives a deductive clue to the
magnitude of the E-field and it is not the same as a traveling wave
antenna. It also varies up and down the standing wave antenna.
