Default The Formula

Actually, the hook, line, and sinker that was swallowed
years ago is that a 360 cubic inch 75m Texas Bugcatcher
coil can be magically shrunken down to a dimensionless
point inductance that passes current with a zero delay
and phase shift, i.e. faster than the speed of light.

The technical truth will triumph in the end. A 75m
Texas Bugcatcher coil occupies ~30 degrees of a 75m
mobile antenna and it takes the forward current (and
reflected current) ~21 nS to flow through the coil.
