Only at some distance from the antenna. You can create local E/H ratios

The ratio of the radiated E-field to H-field has no other choice.
If you stuff EM radiation into free space, the ratio of E-field to
H-field is 376.7 ohms. Zero energy is lost from the EM spectrum when
an electron throws off a photon (until that photon is annihilated).



The near field has a reactive component to the
impedance. But is it true that the real part of
that complex impedance must be 376.7 ohms resistive?
