Seems you have it backwards. The slow-moving free electrons oscillate
back and forth at HF, moving forward and backward very little
(calculate it for yourself). The energy flow from source to load is in
the form of photons/fields/waves traveling at the speed of light
which is impossible for electrons. As far as ham radio antenna
functions go, electrons and photons are the only things known to
physics to be active in transferring and radiating RF energy.
