Stuart,
Can you give us the exact Kraus quote, or a reference, to see the
context in which he made it?
My 3rd edition of Antennas says:
"Although a charge moving with uniform velocity along a straight
conductor does not radiate, a charge moving back and forth in simple
harmonic motion along the conductor is subject to acceleration (and
deceleration) and radiates."
No talk there of discontinuities - they are not needed for radiation; a
charge accelerating or decelerating at the centre of an infinitely long
wire *will* radiate.
