Another 'speriment occured to me, for those who think the coil current
MUST be different at the two ends by the amount corresponding to the
antenna section it replaces:

To the best of my knowledge, nobody believes that. The coil
is much more efficient at the loading function than is the
straight wire from which it is made. That's why inductive
loading is more efficient than fractal antennas or other
types of linear loading.
