Cecil, you have two stubs and they are driven antiphase (typical of a
doublet) and through symmetry would have equal antiphase currents when
compared to their opposites, but not necessarily equal currents within
their twin-pair of lines. The sum of ALL currents (and not just the
myopic view of one of two stubs) would suggest exactly what Roy has
offered.

Sorry, Richard, 1/2 of the loaded dipole turned vertical doesn't
show a trace of horizontal radiation. Sorry about that.

Roy suggested the stubs might be radiating. EZNEC says they are not.
You can add two inches of vertical wire to the ends of the antenna
and see the red vertical radiation. The stubs are 0.04WL, #14 wire,
and 6 inch spacing. How much could they radiate on 75m? The difference
in current is not due to radiation. It is due to the phase shift
between Ifwd and Iref through the stub.
