In H. Hertz's paper of 1889*, he did not require that
the radiating element be "resonant". In fact, that idea
did not then exist!
*1. Hertz H., "On the relation between light and electricity"
Gesammelte Werk, 1, 340 (1889).
2. Hertz H., "The force of electrical oscillations treated with
the Maxwell theory"**, Ann. Phys. 36, 1 (1889).
** Maxwell, J.C., "On physical lines of force: Part 1. The
theory of molecular vortices applied to magnetic phenomena;
Part 11. The theory of molecular vortices applied to electric
currents." Phil. Mag. 21, 161, 281, (1861).
Hertz's work was completely depended upon the work of both
Maxwell and Lamor. Lamor, who in 1897 was able, at last,
to write down the expressions for the fact that radiation
occurred only form Accelerated Point Charges, Phil. Mag. 44,
503 (1897).
Perhaps of interest to some. But, certainly to me!
