Default Phase Shift through a 75m Texas Bugcatcher Coil

I calculate about 628 inches of wire in the coil compared with about 10
inches of coil length. It is 62.8 times as far to go around the turns on
the coil as it is to travel through a 10 inch rod. So, velocity factor
is the quotient of 10 divided by 628, or about 0.016. That agrees with
EZNEC.
