short, capacitively end-loaded, dipole. No way or means is provided
to alter the phase relation between the current in the wire and the
charge on the end plates. (I'd call the end plate a "top hat" if this
were a monopole fed against ground; perhaps I should call the end
plates top and bottom hats.) Unless I missed something or something
was missing in Paul's drawing, you don't need NEC-4 to understand this

Hi Chuck!

Isn't there an 'electric generator' that then phases with a 'magnetic
generator'?(grin)
