Would you rather discuss something for which no disagreement
exists, or discuss the real point of disagreement?

It is apparent to me that the problem is not with coils. The
same point of disagreement exists whether a coil is present
or not. That point of disagreement involves standing waves,
not coils. Take away the coil and the misconception still
exists when discussing only a straight wire.

W8JI is still maintaining that the current cannot drop to
zero at a standing wave current node when the forward
current and reflected current are of the same magnitude.

That is obviously the point of misconception and it has
been clear ever since he refused to discuss zero amps
at the bottom of the coil and 2 amps at the top of the
coil. Replace the coil with a straight wire and W8JI
still has that same misconception. So you see the coil
is not the source of the disagreement.
