How does the electron make a photon in an antenna?

Aetherist.  I will stick to my guns.  All of your responses to the four tests I mentioned are qualitative.  The latter three really require quantitative responses.  The only quantitative prediction you have made with your theory is the speed in a conductor, but you haven't either looked up measurements or performed the experiment yourself.  At least you are now begging others to make the measurements for you. 

At the qualitative level there are a great many theories.  In the beginning of one of Firesign Theater comedy albums (I think We're All Bozos on This Bus) the comic line intones "We know for some reason for some time there were these hot lumps .. "  An explanation that at some level is consistent with what we know.  The Greeks explained the day-night cycle in terms of gods in chariots dragging fires across the sky.  Again qualitatively sound.  Even the flat earthers and creation scientists have theories which at least qualitatively explain the parts of the world they are interested in.  If you want others to use your theory you will have to move beyond the qualitative.

If you are really serious about this I have a 400 MHz scope that I got for a song at a yard sale.  It is yours for what I paid for it ($10) and the cost of shipping.  The low price was because it was thought to be non-functioning.  I was able to repair it using the RTFM process.  You might try the RTFM process on physics and the associated mathematics.

Interesting – what make scope? – is it 2 channel or 4?  – has it got a monitor? – good probes?
I wonder what the shipping would cost to Australia (240V 50Hz here, not 120V 60Hz).
It might be better to pay u the cost of threaded rod & wire & enamel etc if u do the Xs at home.

I'm getting the feeling that the whole thing was an act, a clever, if prolonged ploy, to get a cheap scope.

It is a LeCroy 4 channel.  No probes. Monitor is built in.  I would have to go look, but most equipment of that time and original selling price is easily convertible to 240/50 operation, usually by sliding a switch and using the appropriate NEMA power cord. (NEMA cord not included).  You are right, shipping to Australia would be expensive, it is large and heavy.  Assume 40 kilograms including the weight of appropriate shipping materials. (I will throw those in for free.)  You would probably have some import duties or taxes to pay also. 

Even with shipping it is an excellent value.  My purpose in offering it is to evaluate whether you are all talk, or are really committed to testing/exploring/expanding your theory.

The first couple of pages contain some good answers. It's not until the thread gets hijacked by someone completely misunderstanding one persons answer and building a fantasy upon it that things got crazy.
