Since the forward current and reflected current are equal
in magnitude and opposite in phase at the ends, they act
like transmission line currents and the magnetic fields
cancel at the ends. They are in phase at the feedpoint -
hence the maximum radiation at that point.

EM means elecro- magnetic. Radiation can start from any of them, See what

See my post earlier in this thread. You are misinterpreting what Richard
Harrison wrote to suit your own, incorrect, made-up version of how antennas
work.

Please think on this, Szczepan Bia³ek: the likelihood that your personal
version of the physics is correct is vanishingly small - when it conflicts
with the version everyone else (except perhaps Art Unwin) appears to
understand from their education, which is derived from the basis for
antennas that have been in use for more than 100 years.
