QED. Why don't you add some Feynmann diagrams into this discussion and
edumacate us all?

They would actually be easier to do than some of the ASCII
schematics that I have drawn.

More to the point. If you would stop the silly business about "net"
everything you might begin to understand that standing waves have
effects that move at the speed of light just in the same manner that
traveling waves do. Do you really believe that the fields from the
standing waves don't propagate?

Yes, the standing wave fields do not propagate so that should
be a clue that they are somewhat unrelated to reality. That the
standing wave fields do not propagate can be seen in the phase
of the standing wave current as reported by EZNEC - it doesn't
change by more than a negligible amount over the entire length
of a 1/2WL dipole just as Kraus reported:

Perhaps you should review the difference between static and stationary.
The standing wave is stationary. It is not static.

I don't recall uttering the word "static". Perhaps you would like
to quote me and prove me wrong. If you cannot, would you like
to admit that you are just blowing smoke?
