Highest antenna current do not means high enough to radiate. The high

In 0.05 no currents at all at the feed point.


If there is no current at the feedpoint terminals of a 0.05WL dipole
then there is no current anywhere else in it, and there would be no
radiation. Obviously that is not the reality.

The current distribution in such short dipoles is triangular in form:
highest at the center, and zero at the ends of the dipole arms.
