Cecil,

I thought we already agreed that there is no phase shift in the real
environment, namely, a nearly pure standing wave environment. You were
the one who brought up all the special cases in an attempt to prove your
point.

However, your latest message is refreshing. I was afraid for a while
that you were attempting to use a 48 foot tall mobile antenna or drag a
31.5 foot wire terminated in a resistor down the road.

73,

My 75m bugcatcher coil has to be attached to a 75m mobile
antenna installed on my GMC pickup. That's the boundary
conditions and I have been explicit about that. This is
getting stranger and stranger. Next you guys will have
the coil floating in free space between Sol and Alpha
Centauri unconnected from anything in order to remove it
from any resemblance to a real-world environment.

In virtually all my postings, I have specified that I
was talking about a 75m bugcatcher coil installed in
a mobile installation. It really doesn't matter what
happens outside that specified environment.

The gurus are slowly divorcing themselves from reality.
The only way they can be right is to take the mobile
antenna off the vehicle, throw away the antenna, and
keep the coil for testing on a bench. Have you no
shame? How far are you willing to retreat from reality
to make a feeble attempt to be right?
