Default Current through coils

Cecil,

The numbers you quote below have no relationship to the numbers from the
model I sent you. This is the third time you have "accidentally" screwed
with the model.

The bottom section is one foot long. Knowing the frequency,
e.g. 4 MHz, allows us to calculate the delay in that one foot
of wire, i.e. 0.0041 WL = 1.5 degrees. So the current
phase at the bottom of the coil is -1.5 degrees on 4 MHz.
With the current phase at the top of the coil being 10.72
degrees, that gives a phase shift through the coil of
9.22 degrees which is equivalent to 6.4 nS, more than
double W8JI's measured value still posted to his web page.
