Default Equilibrium and Ham examinations

I consider it a real shame that equilibrium is not a part of
examinations since equilibrium
is a basic in the electrical circuit of all antennas No where do I see
antennas explained other than the showing of capacitive coupling to

is corrected we will never have continium of discussion between hams
on antennas.It is not a mystery anymore so why do the ARRL avoid it
like a plague?

I think your term for equilibrium is the term the exams use for
"resonant". An antenna with "equilibrium" is your name for an antenna
upon which a TEM standing wave is present with a standing wave ratio
of 1:1, correct? That would be your point of maximum effciency of
ejection of galactic particles from the end points of the antenna
which is optimized by sloping it relative to to the earth plane.
