Please read the rest of the material on his web site
concerning current flow through loading coils. He
made many more assertions and "measurements" using
standing-wave current.

I have no idea what 'standing wave current phase shift' is supposed to
mean. Standing waves obviously don't propagate, so naturally there
wouldn't be a propagation delay associated with them.

My point exactly yet standing-wave current is what
both W8JI and W7EL used to "measure" the phase shift
through a loading coil. It is exactly my point that
there is no phase shift associated with standing-
wave current in a coil or in a wire so it CANNOT
be used to "measure" phase shift. There is NO
phase information in the current used for the
W8JI and W7EL measurements. They both apparently
thought they were measuring traveling-wave currents
when the currents were actually overwhelmingly
standing-wave currents.
