Jimmy I know what the cuurent curve shows on a radiating element and I
suspect that you do also.
Now show me an equivalent current curve for a circle so I can see the
differences in area under the current curve.
Are they different or are they the same?. If you know where such a
comparison is shown and they are different
you are then positioned to inform me why.
By the same token if they are the same which is how most people see it then
I will be better able to
resolve my conundrum for myself.

wrong.. My uncle used to have a paint and body shop with a 57 Chevy up on
a
pole in front of his shop. While the car would make an awful antenna it
would be futile to try to explain why. In another way of saying it would
be
like explaining to a student how he missed a math problem when all he
shows
is an answer. The best the instructor can do is tell him he is right or
wrong. In your case the instructor would not even be sure which problem he
had done.
