Now that model shows the current node, not the voltage node, at the ring.
It appears "Common sense" is mistaken.

I had imagined that it would have to have the current node at the ring if it were to constructively radiate with the upper 1/2 wave, like the model shows, but how does the RF get there in phase?

[QUOTE="Needle Bender, post: 385147, member: 13339"] Now that model shows the current node, [B]not [/B]the voltage node, at the ring.
