current, as exists on a 1/2WL dipole, vs traveling-wave

I have prepared two EZNEC files that should run on the
free demo version of EZNEC as well as on the commercial
edition. These two files clearly show the difference in
the two types of currents.

Hi Cecil,

I tried the files and they work well. Congratulations on a clever use
of zero resistance loads. I have not seen that technique used before
but it certainly allows for a good EZNEC demonstration.

EZNEC is a great program.
