Tom:
The explaination, as far as I know is correct.  However, it does not tell 
me anything.  How do I tell if my antennas is fed what way?  In other words 
how do I tell if it is a current feed or votage feed, where are the nodes 
or loops.  From a diagram of a dipole (resonant, not an end fed or a duplex 
antenna) it is a current fed with the current max at centre with the feed 
at the centre.  However, when not resonant this changes.
