The "shape" of the node effects the emission. Thin wire radiate in

But in the elongated node every point have the same polarity.


but on the other half of the sine wave the polarity is reversed...
then what happens? do the electrons get sucked back in?

Of course. But the longitudine waves transport mass (electrons) and are not
symmetric. Jumping off is stronger than sucking back.
Tesla discovered the catode rays (electrons) jumping off from the antenna
end. It is the net DC ground current. Why you do not to measure it.
It is known how to collect the catode rays.
