I tried 4 turns per inch. EZNEC didn't like it.

I ignored the harmonic examples. Who ever said that a coil would be a
lumped inductor when it is operated above its self resonant frequency?

Whoever said that a coil would be a lumped inductor at 60%
of its self resonant frequency? Did you say that?

Used at 5.89 MHz, self-resonant at 9.75 MHz, phase-reversing at
11.78 MHz. Sounds a lot like a slow wave transmission line to me.
5.89 is 60% of the self-resonant frequency. Dr. Corum says that
the lumped-circuit fails above a 15% value. 60% is far above 15%.

In summary, the world of RF electrical phenomena is still intact.

Of course, and more than that, I took its side in the argument.

When I reported measuring no phase shift up and down a dipole,
Tom, W8JI, said my measurements were wrong. But EZNEC says
the same thing as I.
