Thanks Richard, I remember your explanation about a dipole being no
attractor of anything except it's resonant freq. But I guess the the
currents in the coax weren't "near enough equal" in this one case. Kind of
defines lightning as it's own anomoly when it wants to be, huh.

Inside the coax, currents in one conductor induce opposing and near
