The TRANSVERSAL magnetic disturbances have beautifull math. The most

math element is the displacement current.

But the magnetic disturbances are creates by AC CURRENT (not voltage).

So if the radio waves are emitted from the current zone of antenna
Maxwell
is right. If from ends - not.

Maxwell admired Ampere. But each genius works out his own theories. We
can
choose between them.

So, the obvious thing for you to do (as the proponent of an
alternative, nontraditional theory) is to devise an experiment which
can distinguish between these two cases.

The traditional theory is the acoustic theory. The nontraditional theory
is the Maxwell model.

only if you are still living in the 1800's.

Exactly in 1638:

"1638 - Rene Descartes theorizes that light is a pressure wave through the
second of his three types of matter of which the universe is made. He
invents properties of this fluid that make it possible to calculate the
reflection and refraction of light. The ``modern'' notion of the aether is
born. " From: http://maxwell.byu.edu/~spencerr/phys442/node4.html

The next:

"1717 - Newton shows that the ``two-ness'' of double refraction clearly
rules out light being aether waves. (All aether wave theories were
sound-like, so Newton was right; longitudinal waves can't be polarized.) "

In the History you find how many people analysed the issue: longitudinal vs.
transversal. In 1905 all stop.
But after 1905 peole build antennas. And they do not worry what the
radiation is like.
Sunner or later the issue appears again.
