John you are equating resonance with equilibrium, a dipole in antenna
terms is a half wavelength
resonant but not in a state of equilibrium. Equilibrium is a staple in
this Universe. First comes equilibrium
after which you may consider resonance.......but not the reverse. Both
of the samples are of a half wave length thus it is not in
equilibrium.
Equilibrium comes first in the satisfaction analysis, if it fails all
falls apart.

Uhhh Art, you "were" actually responding to "JB", you are lucky I read
your posts, and that this one prompted me to respond (or, unlucky, I
guess it depends on how "you view it" grin ) ...

I realize "something IS wrong" with the basic platform all "antenna
theory/equations/formulas/maths/truths/etc." is/are built upon ... but
what that "something" is? ... all I can say, I am looking and wondering
.... but then, so are many -- and, if you are one of that "many", you
already have foot on the right path ... need I include, IMHO?
