I think the concept of one field generating the other in space as the wave
advances is defective. In my way of thinking it is not possible to stop a wave
in motion and perform a test of this nature.
You would need to travel faster than light to get to an observation point that
allows this. I prefer to measure the field parameters at a point removed from
the moving charge that initiates the wave. Then I am able to measure the
effect of the electric field and magnetic field as it passes by at the speed of
light. There is no reason to assume one vector generates the other.
I came to the realization years ago that there is actually only one parameter
defining both fields. Charge and its movement is the key. Current is
proportional to the first derivative of the spatial position of charge with
respect to time(charge velocity). Radiation is related to the charge
acceleration. The magnetic field is determined by the currents in space and
time. Everything electromagnetic originates with charge.

Trouble with Maxwell’s Electromagnetic Theory:
Can Fields Induce Other Fields in Vacuum?
http://vixra.org/pdf/1206.0083v5.pdf
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to point out that Maxwell’s
electromagnetic theory,
believed by the majority of scientists a fundamental theory of
physics, is in fact built
on an unsupported assumption and on a faulty method of theoretical
investigation.
The result is that the whole theory cannot be considered reliable, nor
its conclusions
accurate descriptions of reality. In this work it is called into
question whether radio
waves (and light) travelling in vacuum, are indeed composed of
mutually inducing
electric and magnetic fields.
The idea of mutually inducing electric and magnetic fields is, without a
doubt, one of the cleverest stupid things found in modern science. We don't
want to abandon it so soon... it has the big advantage that it "solves" the
problem of the light carrying medium.
It reminds me of the feats of the Münchhausen's baron, who raises
himself up by pulling from the strings of his shoes.
