A steady state sinusoidal voltage is exactly what I would expect on a
resonant antenna in the absence of modulation when a carrier has been
applied to the antenna for a short but not too short period of time.

The peril of trying to actualy answer Art's questions.

Richard can be excused for making this error.
This is the same fundamental reason that Ted Hart,
Professor Underhill and lately Vincent failed
to design a radiator that actually works efficiently.
And to this day they and the ham world are totally
oblivious as to why.
This is a direct effect of memorizing facts in college
without regard to first principles to obtain a degree.
Pretty much all examinations I had to take in Europe
demanded a response to a question using only first
principles to avoid failure.
Where failure in any subject during the year required
a repeat of all subjects taken that year, even those
where a pass was obtained, where one has to be successfull,
or thrown out!
