It would be even nicer if readers would read it.

An antenna could be regarded to have any number of terminals you'd like.

EZNEC does not make voltage measurements. Please go back and read the
lengthy recent thread regarding the meaning of voltage and voltage
measurement. I recall you were a major contributor. But it's really not
necessary to re-post it. Please don't.

EZNEC does show the voltages across sources and loads, both of which are
two-terminal lumped components.

It would be nice just to repeat it so 5000 readers don't have to
go searching for it.

In any case, it appears to me that an antenna is not a two terminal
network. It appears to be a three or four terminal network with a
virtual ground. To what is EZNEC referencing voltage measurements
on an antenna in free space?
