How come that
straight piece of wire (as antenna) can exhibit different current along its
length (where is Kirchoff)

Sheesh²,

Kirchhoff is explicitly violated by employing his laws at wavelength
scales. Kirchhoff NEVER said anything about current into/out-of a
device (which by necessity is of some obvious dimension). Rather, his
current law speaks of a POINT (which is dimensionless). In failing to
have come to terms with this simple issue, the entire course of, what,
600 postings yields little more than white noise.

If you want to talk Kirchhoff and nets, get your definitions right.
It is his voltage law that describes in terms of devices (across a
resistor, between two points, what have you).

Pretense to scholastic work begins with observing the first principles
of those you quote.
