So please stop trying to invent new ones.

I'm not doing that, Jim, just trying to lay the
old ones to rest, e.g. a 3 nS delay through a
10" long 75m bugcatcher loading coil. Please
don't tell me that you believe that a 4 MHz
signal can travel through a large 10" inch
coil in 3 nS - a coil that exhibits a VF of
0.04. That's about seven times the speed of
light.

Given that the speed of light is roughly 3 x10^8 meters per second, and
it would ordinarily take less than a nanosecond to traverse the 10",
it's not *THAT* unbelievable. The delay would depend on the series
inductance and shunt capacitance of the coil. What are those numbers?
