A short 160M antenna

IF (I'm not stating, just trying
to follow a thought based on what you said), IF this is so, then it
would mean the EM wave existed with or without the wire, purely because
the magnet was spinning.
Ok, scratch that! My own speculation is plain wrong, surely. The earlier
point in myearlier post MAY be true, but if so, only because the presence of
a nearby antenna feedpoint means that a current carrying wire is actually
present. All this, assuming that you can use the current carrying portion of
some antenna as if it were a winding in a dynamo, given a magnetic field
varying at a rate appropriate for said antenna. Even if this IS possible, it
isn't the same as doing an EM wave with no wire at all. That would be magic,
no?
