Michele - your point about the multimeter can be pushed further, because we do not measure voltage with a multimeter, we actually measure current and multiply by the series resistance. Even that is not strictly true, we actually measure the torque produced when the current flows in a coil in a magnetic field, which is then applied against a calibrated spring! . . . So even in ordinary electrical measurements we employ subterfuge all the time and we should not worry when this happens with antenna theory. . . Best regards, Alan
