Tom:
The explaination, as far as I know is correct. However, it does not tell
me anything. How do I tell if my antennas is fed what way? In other words
how do I tell if it is a current feed or votage feed, where are the nodes
or loops. From a diagram of a dipole (resonant, not an end fed or a duplex
antenna) it is a current fed with the current max at centre with the feed
at the centre. However, when not resonant this changes.
