For ac (RF) that`s not true. The formula is E=IZ, where Z includes
reactance and resistance in quadrature. I`m not piling on but some
readers may believe Art. *

Yes you are correct but the original equation was E=IR
which preceeds the implication of impedance which is a derivative
of my equation and came about with the addition of A.C. technology.
If the impedance is totally resistive then my statement is not untrue
Now to avoid the nitpicking are you saying that E=IZ cannot be used
for calculations at the end of an antenna and if so" WHY "
