You can now ask where the current goes when it reaches the end of a
fractional wavelength radiator and get what some say *"is the rest of the
story".

Current is always zero at the end of a radiator of any length.

Maybe Frank but it never came to a stop!!!!.
When you look at it as not being equilibrium one must show the sharges
moving to the ends of the radiator
where end effect is created. Now you draw a line to the right on the
outside of the radiator with an arrow at the end to show the movement
of the charge.
Now the original notion that there is no charge or current goes away
because a reactive line and arrow must be assigned for quasi
equilibrium
to be established and that line or vector has only the center of the
radiator to flow to form a closed circuit.
When a radiator is in equilibrium the charge does NOT move to the end
so that there is no vector to the right
thus physics state that the need for an opposing vector does not
exist. Thus for a radiator in equilibrium current will move along the
surface but the charges will not. So do the charges really stay in a
static possition? No it doesn't It was on the surface over the skin
provided by the eddy current which when combined with moving current
both produce a combination magnetic field that provides a vector force
away from the surface of the radiator.
The charge static position.is thus over powered by the combination
magnetic field that places a spin upon the partiucle and ejects it in
a straight line trajectory. These ejections have a reberatory effect
on the radiator and also on the receiving radiator so that
communication occurs in a vibratory manner
Now the extension of gaussian static field shows up in actual
radiation phenomina in the same way the eddy current fields provide
levitation which thus agrees with other known laws Tho it can be shown
that the law of statics is part of Maxwells laws mathematically I know
of no disclosure where the same was approached from a strictly flux
flow position which brings static particles into the mode of radiation
as well as defining the eddy current creating the "weak" force as
anticipated by Einstein till he died.Nowhere is a physics law violated
physics laws have been solidified and the theory is solid
