Strange, every measured experiment he himself conducted on real-world
air-core coils proved that the current at each end of the coil is NOT
constant.

Did he say if one puts the loading coil at the top of the antenna,
with no stinger, currents at the top of the coil and bottom of the
coil are equal?

When will otherwise rational engineers stop trying to use circuit
model math on distributed network problems? The current in a standing-
wave antenna wire is NOT constant, varies inch by inch, and that's a
*straight* piece of wire. So if we use more wire coiled up, the current
then becomes constant magnitude/phase and instantaneous?

I'm worried - even I understand that!
