Sorry, this may sound dumb, I think I must have missed the point. Why are
people arguing about current in a loading coil? NEC, and experiment, seem
to provide the answer.

If you didn't read the stuff on my web page, have a look, the story is
there.

Thanks for the link Yuri. Read the web page, and now understand what is
going on. I have an Excel spreadsheet, complete with graph, prepared from a
NEC2 model of an inductively loaded monopole. The graph clearly shows the
current distribution across the coil. If you are interested I can e-mail it
to you, or can post it on the NG. It is only about 50kB, but not sure if it
is acceptable to post attachments on a NG.
