[TenTec] Antenna measurements

[Steve Hunt]

Stuart,

As yet, I've been unable to find anything remotely like that in my 3rd 
edition; but I'll carry on looking :)

A simple "test question" for me would be: "does an infinitely long 
straight wire (no discontinuities), which carries an 
accelerating/decelerating charge, radiate or not?
