My previous resume` regarded current distribution on a 1/2-wave
standing-wave antenna.

"We know that..........." !!!!!!! hmmmm

I don't know who "we" is but for one I don't know
Could you explain who "we" is and on what authority or explanation
has "we": got for such an implausable statement?
I do thank you for responding. Oh what a web we weave when we try....

May be this is why scientists have not yet been able to rationalize
radiation
and we are just left with theories with holes as in cheese.
Industry shows us not just talk about it they show us every day what
happens to a particle
on their conveyor. They even let you show the particle levitated and
revolving.
Industry also shows you that eddy currents occur in a closed loop
circuit
and one must see that the combination of the alternating current flow
and the resulting eddy current can
levitate a particle. They don't just talk about it they can
demonstrate it.
This is much more plausable and reproduceable than wireing a house
with an open circuit to plug into.
Also the old books that you read on both argue that a fractional
wavelength is represented by a series circuit that is not open!
They also say that a full wave antenna is represented by a parallel or
tank circuit and again the circuit is not open!
No wonder radiation has not been explained fully when so many
paradoxes are present. Oh and if my house is wired as an open circuit
asit is time related why on earth would one need fuses and where would
they put them if it is an open circuit?
The idea of two currents opposing each other on the same surface of an
open circuit where the eddy currents is thus cancelled
by revolving in opposite directions and the same thing going for the
time varying current tells me you have discovered the "big bang"
by not placing a fuse in an open circuit.
Kraus was not perfect otherwise he would have improved on his thinking
during his life time
by studying radiation and it's creation.

We know there`s radiation and loss as the current travels to and fro
between the open-circuited ends of the antenna, but if unattenuated is
good nough for most purposes for Kraus, it is good enough for me.
