Howdy perpetual arguers!

Here is the good one for you on eHam.net

between yours truly (right) and Tom, W8JI (wrong).

It centers around the argument that the RF current in the antenna loading coils
is (or not) equal. Classic case of "theory" (wrongly applied) to real life
measurements and facts. There is referenced previous article that started it
all and on my budding web site www.K3BU.us full text with pictures at
http://www.k3bu.us/loadingcoils.htm

It looks like this factor is not properly accommodated in modeling programs
using loading inductors in antenna elements. In view of the above, time
permitting, I will try to do some work and try to shed some more light on the
subject.

Any experiences out there, rather than more "reasons" why it ain't so?
Proper accommodation in modeling programs can give substantial improvement in
loaded elements modeling.

Let the games begin :-)
