[TenTec] Let's try the message again

[Stuart Rohre]

Any termination or even an open in the end of the antenna wire, like the 
far end of a long wire, is a discontinuity compared to what the RF 
current encounters in the wire.  That is all Kraus is saying.  Either a 
discontinuity or change of direction of the current is associated with 
the wave moving away from the wire.  Just having RF current in the wire, 
is a static field, while the EM field results from creating a radiator 
we call an antenna.
