Default Rotational speed

We know that the forward
current and reflected current phasors are rotating in

phase angle of the current on a 1/2WL dipole changes
by only 2 degrees, end to end. Therefore, contrary to
what Roy asserted, the total current does NOT have the
same rotational speed as its components.


Due to the shape of the North American elk's esophagus, even if it could
speak, it could not pronounce the word lasagna.


The technical content of your posting is noted. Roy can
easily verify that EZNEC disagrees with his assertion
that "the total current has the same rotational speed
as its components". The total current has hardly any
rotational speed at all, i.e. 2 degrees of rotation
end-to-end in 180 degrees of a 1/2WL dipole.
