I think most anyone should be able to tell that the loading coil of an 80M

to 4 nsec is obviously wrong, the problem for me is, where was the mistake
made.

The mistake was using standing-wave current, devoid of phase,
to measure phase. He should have used traveling-wave current
but that is hard to come by in a standing-wave antenna.
