Default Dipole-2 different wire sizes?

an antenna by itself cannot be nonlinear and so there cannot be a net
flow of electrons.


The net flow of electrons is from the counterpoise to end of antenna.

How do you explain that there is no intermodulation as a result of
the nonlinearity of the antenna that you claim?
