You're right, Tom. I was assuming an end-fed 1/2WL "thin wire"
configuration. Here's a question for the experts. If the current at
the feedpoint is 140 ma into the 5000 ohm 1/2WL wire and zero on the
other (open) wire at the feedpoint, what are the currents in each wire
1/4WL back down the feedline at a 1:1 choke-balun, for instance? What
would those currents be when fed from a link coupling not referenced
to ground?
