I have given many antenna lectures inthe past and always

the first stumbling block has been "how does it radiate". I

did not fully understand the mechanism and none of the

available analogies such as rotating "smoke rings" of e/m

energy through any light on the subject..Peters " vibrating electron discontinuity "is intuitive and is the first really credible

explanation I have seen. I belive it provides a valuable insight

into the mechanism of radiation the even I can understand.

Further his explanation of radiation resistance provides us with a better understanding of this phenomena. Dont worry about it being simplistic, all understanding starts with a "graspable" theory.

I have yet to digest the rest of his article ie Maxwell etc. but I have no doubt that he will through more light on this indigestible subject.
