Can we end-feed a halfwave antenna, or any antenna, without a ground?

I think any confusion is a matter of definition, which is pointed out in the first few lines on that site.
It's one of the basic things of electronics that electrons can only 'travel'/move when there are two terminals. If you got a (+) then you have to have a (-) somewhere. That 'somewhere' ain't always where you think it is, but it's always there. Otherwise, those electrons ain't moving. Those two terminals, (+) and (-) are easy to see if something is symmetrical, has two sides. When there seems to only be one side, then you just aren't seeing the other one, look some more.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
