Could you please enlighten us, Cecil, exactly why you think that
anything in all of W8JI's full posting referenced by reference below
where he implicitly or explicitly says anything at all about a lumped
model, or about lumped behaviour? After a careful search, I'm unable
to find it. I only find a discussion of distributed behaviour in a
circuit which extends beyond near field.

W8JI is right 99% of the time. I agree with him on those
things as do you. Your above posting is no surprise.

Here's one of W8JI's statements. Please defend it.

Radiation does not cause current taper. Dissipation does not either.

What is contained in the attenuation factor for the current
transmission line equation if not radiation and dissipation?
What else is there?
