For this reason the earth/chassis/counterpoise is necessary.

Hello Szczepan.
A dipole aerial doesn't need a counterpoise nor does it need any connection
to earth/ground/counterpoise.

I've kept quiet during the discussion because I don't think of my radio and
aerial in terms of sub-atomic particles. For me, resonance, impendance and
SWR are more significant.

Have you considered taking your theories / discussions /
cutting-and-pastings about sub-atomic particles and other kindred items to
one of the physics newsgroups such as:
alt.sci.amateur
alt.sci.physics
sci.physics
I'd expect that you will find lots of people with whom you can discuss the
behaviour of sub-atomic particles.

Kindest regards, Ian.
