Of course not. The 10 degrees of phase shift has already been
proven to be wrong because of reflections within the coil.
Why do you insist on bringing up old invalid data?

Please note that *nobody* is alleging that the phase shift
through a 75m bugcatcher coil is 75 degrees. That is just
another one of your straw men.

Now why don't you become a rational, ethical person and
suggest a valid way of measuring the phase shift through
a coil? Can you improve on my suggestion of yesterday?

Cecil,

You spent a lot of time developing the "10 degree" model for the
bugcatcher coil. When and how did it get proven wrong? The only thing I
can recall is that you said it did not make sense technically, and
therefore it must be wrong. Recently you launched into this business
about adding turns to make the coil resonant. As I just explained, I
believe that approach is total nonsense.

You keep referring everyone to the now famous gif image on your web
page. The question becomes why is EZNEC correct in supporting your
position at some times and incorrect when it does not support your
position at other times?

73,
