Default Current through coils

Agreed that current is charge in motion. Accumulation of charge,
however, is a job for an accumulator, another name for a storage
battery. These have little to do with the possibility of an antenna coil
having currents through the coil from opposite directions creating
unequal totals at the ends of the coil.

I don`t know if this Tom is picking a fight to gain attention before
going to Dayton but his postings have the right fragarance.

If you don't understand the post, I guess a cheap shot is
better than no shot at all.
