I agree Bob, but for my better understanding, aren't transmissionline mode currents (TMC) out-of-phase and similar to what goes on inside of coax, and not radiating. Aren't they the opposite of antenna mode currents, which are in-phase and radiating...just like I describe earlier in my examples of the currents on a dipole vs. the bottom of a 5/8 wave?

If this is so, don't these TMC currents tend not to contribute to radiation due to cancellation?
