Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

Roy, it is you who are ignoring the results of EZNEC. EZNEC proves
that one cannot use standing wave current phase to measure the phase
shift through a wire, much less through a coil. To see why, take a look at:

The standing wave current is absolutely FLAT. It cannot be used for
any valid measurement.
