That's utter nonsense Cecil, and why people aren't buying into your

Sorry, Tom, that's distributed network analysis, something you
and others seem to be totally ignorant of and confused by.

I get emails every week from people who are buying into the
distributed network analysis. Otherwise, they are forced to
accept your magical thinking about reality.

A two-terminal network that transforms impedance, now there's a
concept!

It isn't a two-terminal network. It is a single-wire transmission
line over ground. It has forward and reflected waves working against
ground, similar to a two-wire transmission line.

An inductor behaves exactly the same way in or out of your so-called
standing wave environment. It follows the same rules all the time.

Quoting Dr. Corum again: "There are no standing waves [allowed]
on a lumped element circuit component. (In fact, lumped-element
circuit theory inherently employs the cosmological presupposition
that the speed of light is infinite, as every EE sophmore should
know.)"

"Lumped circuit theory fails because it's a theory whose
presuppositions are inadequate. Every EE in the world was warned
of this in their first sophmore circuits course."

Tom, where did you attend your sophmore EE classes?

Since your theory says otherwise, it has to be wrong.

It is the distributed network theory, Tom, developed to handle
just such cases of failure of the lumped-element model. Both
models work in some instances. The distributed network model
works when the lumped-element model fails.

Wave theory is just another way of analyzing a complex system. It
doesn't change how things inside the system behave.

Exactly! But lumped-circuit theory changes how things inside
the system behave when standing waves are present. One can
observe its magical effects in your explanations. Unfortunately,
it is not supposed to change anything. When a model tries to change
the laws of physics, it's time to move to a more power model that
doesn't.

Bottom line: By every valid measurement and calculation, a 75m
bugcatcher coil occupies roughly 60% of a mobile antenna.
