Dear Antennex, thanks for posting my comments; I believe that scientific discussions are always usefull. As far as the subject is concerned, unfortunately I was grown believing more in mathematically sound deductions than in my own perception of the phenomena. In Bill's answer I still cannot see a mathematically sound answer to my main objection: IF - as Bill states - displacement current does not exist, AND Maxwell equations are correct,THEN there will be NO propagation of electromagnetic waves. Unless one can prove - with a mathematically correct procedure - that the two conditions (i.e. no displacement current and electromagnetic wave propagation) are compatible. IMHO, this will imply changing Maxwell equations; if this is the case, I will be looking forward to seeing this modified electrodynamic theory. Then just a final comment to Bill's main support to his conclusions, i.e. the observation that antennas exploiting displacement current do NOT work: could you then please tell me on which principle fenditure (i.e. patch, etc.) antennas work ? (because they DO work !) All the best, Michele D'Amico
