Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

If W8JI, W7EL and their followers moved neon bulb along the loading coil,
they would see the change in brightness along the coil (getting brighter
closer to the top) indicating diminishing current along the same length.
Ergo (standing wave) current is not constant along the loading coil as they
tried to convince their followers to the contrary.


One can just look at the standing wave current equation and
tell it is not constant. The standing wave current varies
with location on the antenna.
