Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

If you were saying the current is high only in the first few turns of a
coil that is not in a high order self-resonance, that is incorrect.


Now you are putting words in my mouth. The question and argument WAS and IS
about the current being (almost) equal (you claimed), or DIFFERENT (my et
other's claim) at the ENDS of the loading coil. You stated "ALWAYS EQUAL"
(Kirchoff, bla, bla...).


OK, I agree the current CAN be different.

Of course that has nothing to do with the amount of antenna the coil
replaces, it is a function of the physical construction of the loading
coil and how much capacitance the coil has from the coil to the outside
world compared to the capacitance terminating the loading coil.

As illustration and description of the effect I observed on the Hustler
resonator was, that the heat developed from the bottom few turns. Like I am
so stupid to claim that there is high current only in your few turns?
Common' give me a break and fes up!! This is getting comical and pathetic.


Well, I thought that was what you said. If you didn't say it, I have to
take your word for it.
