Barring startling results demonstrating how either of the two coils
offered here in evidence reveal multiple resonances, that is enough to
kill the thread without needing tedious computations.¹
Last night I posted 1/4WL, 3/4WL, and 5/4WL measured resonant
points using the same coil stock as W8JI but with a shorter
50 uH coil. This coil 2" dia, 8 tpi, 8.5" long. It was
sitting on a mag mount on my metal desk.
When the speculation is that the coil presents a 1:1 replacement for
the delay of the "missing" segment of the resonant antenna, then this
premise stumbles at the starting blocks.
Nobody said anything about a 1:1 replacement. That was just
somebody's strawman.
