That`s chris` prerogative. Note the near field is also called the
"induction field". One reason, its energy returns to the source each
cycle. The far field emergy has escaped or radiated. Its energy appears
as a resistive load on the source.

You mean, those "antenna/rf-magnetic-fields" are NOT leaving the
radiator at the speed of light, but being "stored in the ether?", to
then collapse and induce an electric field back into the element which
first generated-such? sly-grin

Sorry, I know, this will be perceived as "troll-territory." :-(
