Default Current through coils

Cecil,

I did what you "challenged", with the exception of the exact whip
length. (And the version I sent had a total height of 11 feet 9 inches,
which is not absurdly unreasonable.)

I have to say I am surprised that it took you more than 24 hours to
misinterpret what I sent (10 turns per foot) and then to blame the tools.

I don't see any of the errors on my computer.

There is little point of carrying this any further. You already stated
that the results did not make technical sense to you and that perhaps
EZNEC cannot be used for this task. I cannot repair your "technical
sense", and I have no control over the capabilities of EZNEC.

Your files contain multiple geometry proximity errors. Here is
what EZNEC says about your file:

I started to print out the error file until I discovered it
is 142 pages long.

It seems to be impossible to model 4 MHz, 4 TPI coils in
EZNEC without multitudes of proximity errors. Proximity
errors result in gross errors in EZNEC results.

I'm sorry, Gene, but the results of your simulation cannot
be trusted.
