Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

EZNEC clearly recognizes the difference between standing wave current
and traveling wave current. Yet you tried to use standing wave current
with its unchanging phase to measure the phase shift through a coil.
Standing wave current doesn't even change phase through 45 degrees
of wire. Why would you expect it to change phase through 45 degrees
of coil?


Not to be a stickler, but didn't you just chastise me for bringing up
coils, and you said you had no interest in discussing them, because that
subject was closed for you?

Make up your mind, please.


And in any case, the statement about EZNEC is incorrect. As I explained
in a posting a short while ago, EZNEC has no awareness of nor does it
make any use of traveling wave currents or voltages. It calculates only
the total current from fundamental rules which don't involve traveling
waves.
