"The Antenna-Transmission Line Analog."

It's a good analog. For instance a 1/4WL open-wire
open-circuit stub made with resistance wire with
a resistivity of 0.0000021 ohms-m has a feedpoint
impedance of 35 ohms according to EZNEC.

The current distribution is a close approximation
to a 1/4WL monopole. The additional resistance
over copper approximates the energy lost to
radiation in a 1/4WL monopole.
