It has not yet been proven that current does not flow thru
the center of a radiator.


Assuming that significant r-f current exists at the center of a
radiating conductor, where does it go when it reaches the end of that
conductor?


RF


It doesn't "go" anywhere. *As the conductor (and it's return path;
ground or whatever) is resonant, the generator sees it as a resistor.
The current is "absorbed" by this "load". *But instead of pure heat, an
electromagnetic field ensues. *Nothing goes anywhere.


Methinks you are playing games, current doesn't move but charges do
Very devious
