Seems that the unbelievers are in the same camp with those who could not
digest the behavior of loading coils in standing wave antenna circuit. Seems
it would be much nicer if the discussions were more in the line "oh, yea,
why?" rather than "you fool, you know notin'" ...or something like that.

If you remember, two of those gurus tried to use standing-
wave current to measure the phase shift through a loading
coil apparently not realizing that their simple-minded model
wouldn't accomplish that task because the phase of standing-
wave current is essentially unchanging all up and down the
mobile antenna. Last I heard, they were rabidly defending
those obviously flawed measurements because, of course,
gurus know everything and never make mistakes. :-)
