Exactly right. And the same is true of common mode current on a 2-wire 
line. I intentionally do not call it "balanced" line -- balance is 
defined by the entire system, which includes the antenna, it's 
relationship to its surroundings, and how its terminated in the shack. 
On the line, the imbalance shows up as a difference between current in 
the two conductors.
