Default No antennae radiate all the power fed to them!

It is nonsense, they can be no wave in the element due to it being a
conductor.


You seem to be unaware that a travelling wave around a wire is what
causes the wave to move along the wire, and not the electrons inside,
which only oscillate a very short distance about their mean.


You seem to be unaware that current is the total, net movement of all
the electrons in a wire, not just a single electron.

He is confusing the I and V plots for waves.


There is no confusion on my part. Perhaps you could explain where you
think I am confused, for I had not mentioned the separated I and V
waveforms.


Yeah, right.

Perhaps you are confused yourself, perhaps, by the current maximum
at the centre of a dipole, for it is not a DC maximum but rises and falls
in magnitude?


Only a very confused individual would babble on about the instantaneous
current or voltage.
