Still true, even if each turn of wire is insulated from those adjacent to
it? How could that be?
Thanks,

Telamon's explaination is spot on. The end of an antenna is high
impedance- coils at the far end do not behave as inductors, rather as
capacitors- thus the analogy to a solid tube. If the coil is placed, at a
current point of an antenna (eg. near the center of a half wave) then it
behaves as a pure inductor.
