Default Coils are transmission lines

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?


Oh, I forgot to ask you a technical question, Gene. Given that
at 11.78 MHz, the current at the bottom of the coil is 0.17 amps
and the current at the top is 2.0 amps, how do you explain those
values if the current is flowing up through the coil? The details
are at the bottom of the following web page.
