On the existence and physical meaning of the Zenneck wave

The physical meaning of the Zenneck wave is discussed. It is pointed out that the full spectra of the modal basis functions that we know to exist do not feature such a wave. Aspects concerning setup requirements for proof-of-concept experiments are addressed.
