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.


My comment above is primarily about standing wave current,
not about coils. Standing wave current phase cannot be used
to measure the phase shift through empty space, wires, or
anything else.
