Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

You spent a lot of time developing the "10 degree" model for the

Yes, it was a waste of time since I didn't accomplish the
goal of eliminating reflections. The phase angle between
the source voltage and source current is 71 degrees. That
proves that I failed to eliminate reflections.

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?


EZNEC doesn't differentiate between standing waves and traveling
waves. The user has to ensure there are no reflected waves. I
failed in that task. It's no big deal. I fail quite often.

My position is technical facts and accuracy. What is your
position?
