i dont think were comunicating here. i dont thing were talking about the same thing.

i thought the rf curent and voltage in the coax or in the antenena is always 90 degrees out of phaze from each other but you mke it sound like there 180 out of phaze. and im not wrong about the voltage and curent on a 1/2 wave dipole. i didnt think i had to say 1/2 wave dipole. they are almost always a 1/2 wave except when a different length is specified. but i like your idea of feeding at a 1/2 wave high voltage point instead of a 1/4 wave high curent point. i wonder if this isnt one reason why some antennas dont work as well for some people as they do for others. maybe there feeding them at a curent node and its screwing with the match or radiation point for curent or toa



come on henry chime in
