Default Phase Shift through a 75m Texas Bugcatcher Coil

I calculate 628 in. of wire divided by c (@ 1181.1x10 to the sixth power
in./sec.) = 0.53x10 to the minus 6 power, delay through the coil. That`s
just over 1/2 microsecond delay in the coil. A lot slower than Tom`s
coil but my signal sticks to the wire.
