I know you have said it multiple times, but so far I don't recollect
anyone actually measuring a real world coil, and finding max current
at the top of the coil. That is what is bothering me. MK

Cecil doesn't actually have to measure anything, since he's already convinced
he's right because his arguments agree with the theory he made up in his head.

Well, just so you guys can understand what I am talking about, here is
an EZNEC file that clearly demonstrates low current at the bottom of
the coil and high current at the top of the coil.

The real test will be when someone tries to make a new, improved
antenna based on the belief that the current taper on the loading coil
of a physically short antenna makes a tinker's damn worth of difference
in the far field radiation of said antenna.

Nice try, but that's just a copout diversion because the far field
radiation is irrelevant to the argument over current through a
loading coil.
