charge to get in and out of that volume.

THERE IS NO RF BATTERY STORING ENERGY! THERE IS ZERO LONG TERM
ACCUMULATION OF CHARGE! Neglecting losses, energy in exactly equals
energy out over the long term.

The fact that 2 amps of standing wave current exists at the bottom of
the coil and 1.4 amps of standing wave current exists at the top of
the coil doesn't imply any long term accumulation of charge. Long
term accumulation of charge in a coil is impossible.
