OK, let's agree on that and take another look at the example I just presented
on another thread involving half a dipole.

wire coil wire

22.5 deg ? deg 22.5 deg

Assuming a lumped inductance, presumably the current into the coil will have
the same phase as the current out of the coil. Zero phase shift through the
coil means



this antenna has the same current phasing as a 40m dipole used on
75m, i.e. the feedpoint current is at a current minimum point.


Sorry, I don't understand that last statement...
