Default power on random wire antenna

One more thing is not clear to me:
If I use a 1/4 wave wire, where are the 6000 ohms?
Near the feed point or on the far end?

Thanks

Then, since E = I*R, 70.7 volts ... thanks.


But on the other ends where there could be 6000 ohms the current is
low (0.13 A) but the voltage is around 775 V.


Something tells me we're going to end up with tapered wires here
pretty soon... ;^)
