The term node is misused often in Ham radio.
A node is defined as ""A point in a standing wave (stationary wave)
where the amplitude of the wave is a minimum" (Communications
Standard Dictionary and other references).
With that in mind current feed is at the current "maximum" or
"maxima", and that is generally at a voltage node.
Voltage feed would generally occur at the current node (or current
minimum).
