I appreciate your point of view, Alan.<><><> The whole subject of Displacement Current, and the lack thereof, came about as a direct result of following the thrust of your thinking.<><><> In order for a conceptualization to be "real," it must accurately portray reality under a wide range of conditions. Ohm's Law is one good example, and we can BUILD devices using resistors that work in very close adherence to predicted results. <><><><> Up until recently, however, very few people have attemped to USE Displacement Current as a building block. But the devices that are being built to USE Displacement Current seem not to work the way the classical theory predicts.<><><> It seems to me that either the practitioners are fools, or the theory is flawed. <><><><> We have already learned through other postings on the forum that Displacement Current is not needed to define the performance of a capacitor. How, then can we USE such a parameter in our antenna designs? <><><> 73, Bill KT4YE
