Waves induce current into an antenna. Any mismatched antenna reradiates
most of the energy induced into it. A perfectly matched antnna only
reradiates 50% of the energy it receives.


That is a well-known factoid. Do you think it differs from something I
said? You note that current is involved in the reradiation.


Hint: If waves cause currents that in turn, cause
re-radiation, then Richard has proved your, "waves
don't cause radiation", assertion to be false.


Cecil,

Back to playing the moron role? If you no longer want to discuss
anything in technical terms, then I will go away again for a while.

Is there a lot of current in your free space world?
