I gave up on this thread a couple of weeks ago, largely because it had
drifted. However, it came right back to the original topic when the
velocity-factor-based 45 degree replacement item came up. Cecil and his
friends now deny they ever said anything about coils replacing the
"degrees" of missing wire, but they keep coming back to the same
position again and again.

Hi Gene,

Well, you will never find a definitive quote to pin to Cecil that the
45 degrees is replaced by a coil. That ain't gonna happen. Cecil
doesn't need to say it when so many are ready to interpret this from
his crafted comments which lead to no other conclusion.

As for Vf, you can argue that 'till you are blue in the face, but
given a 59% slop factor that Cecil embraces, any of his computations
can transform gold into lead.

So, the comedy is the only thing left, and it comes like a wildcat
gusher if you simply drill down - on one point - and he is left
claiming the most absurd things that are self-negating (you don't even
have to argue the point it gets so funny). It doesn't take very long
either.
