One lurker stated the obvious in an email to me.

The 75m Texas Bugcatcher loading coil satisfies the
boundary conditions given for a slow-wave structure.
What is obvious is that you and others absolutely
refuse to engage in any technical argument concerning
the subject. It is indeed obvious why you refuse to
do so.

Jim, I ask you again: How can one possibly use the
following current as reported by EZNEC to measure
the delay through a wire or through a loading coil?

Your silence on the subject has so far been deafening.

How do you explain Roy's (w7el) assertion at:
http://www.w8ji.com/agreeing_measurements.htm

"As described in my posting on rraa of November 11,
the inductor "replaces" about 33 electrical degrees
of the antenna."

w8ji's measurement was a 3 nS delay. If an EM wave
can travel through 33 degrees in 3 nS at 4 MHz, it
is traveling considerably faster than the speed of
light which is entirely possible with the lumped-
circuit model. How do you explain that?
