go about getting the voltage as a function of antenna position (EZNEC
current).
You don't. It's not possible. Which is why EZNEC doesn't do it.
The current reported by EZNEC is the net standing-wave current
(for standing-wave antennas). That current is associated with
the standing-wave's H-field which can be measured. The standing-
wave also has an E-field. Is there any way to measure the magnitude
and phase of the E-field? I vaguely remember a florescent light
bulb being turned on by the E-field, glowing brightest at the
tip of a mobile antenna.
