I like to stir it. But there is no fight to be fought. I'm not
arguing
with him. I just fail to see any real advantage of considering coil
current "taper", or whatever you would want to call it when designing
a typical bugcatcher. From many of his posts, you would think it's
a required consideration, or rewards one with super performance
not available to a designer using regular ole lumped coil theory.
The coil is still going to end up being mounted in the same place
either route you take.
