It`s been said the key to enlightnent is repetition, repetition, and
repetition.. It must be so.

A series resonant circuit is the usual form of a standing-wave antenna.
Inductance, capacitance, and resistances due to radiation and heat
conversion are unevenly distributed along the antenna. As King, Mimno,
and Wing say in "Transmission Lines, Antennas, and Wave Guides" on page
86:

"Inductance and capacitance as used for near-zone circuits with uniform
current cannot be defined, and ordinary circuit analysis does not
apply."
