As you might know, the current that goes into the end-fed antenna
equals the current that goes into the counterpoise.
ONLY if the counterpoise is connected to the same location where the
'radiating' wire leaves the coax. if you run a piece of coax out the window
and connect just the center conductor to your end-fed antenna then connect
the 'counterpoise' to the radio ground lug as is commonly done, the current
in the counterpoise may be MUCH different than that going into the wire.
