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


The charges (electrons) do not realy move. *They vibrate
at the applied E-field frequency. *The charge displacement,
depending on frequency; for example at 10 MHz, is of the
order of 10 atomic diameters -- approximately 2*10^(-9) m.http://www.geocities.com/ferman30/AtomsDimTable.html

Correct but only if the equilibrium rule is respected
other wise it does move in line with the applied current
