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

sitting on a mag mount on my metal desk.

I think what we have here is Cecil has bought into the idea that
radically different behavior on one or more self-resonant frequencies
means we can apply an analogy of that behavior to all other
frequencies.

Most of us probably want a theory that works all the time, and we
probably think only one situation that proves the theory wrong is
required to dismiss the theory as being incorrect.

What Cecil is asking us all to do is is agree to a theory that only
works in special cases and ignore the times it does not.
