Roy, isn't everything moot after Kraus tells us that an antenna coil
can cause a 180 degree phase reversal? Plus his graph of current in
a loaded antenna that shows a step function in the current at the
loading coils? The entire purpose of this discussion was to determine
if the following statement, allegedly made by W8JI, is true or false.

"This is in any book, including the ARRL Handbook. If you look at HOW
an inductor works, the current flowing in one terminal ALWAYS equals
the current flowing out the other terminal."

That's the very clear statement that was questioned by Yuri. And you
have already proved it not to be true even with your toroidal coil.

Incidentally, given a 180 degree phase reversing coil, the current
is flowing into both ends at the same time.
