It appears you missed the primary message of the Corum article.


I'm afraid you missed the point. As long as the frequency
is kept constant, the VF and Z0 of coil stock will be
relatively constant - why wouldn't it be? W8JI missed
the 4 MHz delay through that coil by at least a magnitude.
It is impossible for that delay to be 3 nS. The measured
delay through my 75m bugcatcher coil is 25 nS.


Yup, I guess I don't understand the "point". You continue to use the
equations and charts derived in the Corum article, but you don't agree
with his conditions and caveats. There would have been no purpose for
his article if your paragraph above was correct. Have you expanded the
applicability range for his results? Where can we find your IEEE white
paper?

So, the "point" is ??????
