Roy's and Tom's blunder was to think one could use the phase
of the current on a standing wave antenna to determine the
delay through a loading coil when the phase of that current
doesn't change with length even in the wire sections of the
antenna.

Hint: The phase of the current on a standing wave antenna
cannot even be used to determine the delay through a wire
(proved by EZNEC) since the phase doesn't change with
length (over 90 degrees of length).

Since the phase of standing wave current cannot be used on
a wire, why would anyone be naive enough to think it can be
used on a loading coil?
