So in an antenna system, in general, we have 3 consectutive transmission

Because of the high inductance of the loading coil, Zo = Sqrt(L/C) will have
a much higher value than that of a wire of the same straight length.

(Rhetorical Question)
Given that the coil section resembles a high-Zo transmission line with
reflections, how can the current into the coil section be equal in
magnitude and phase to the current out of the coil section?

Maybe it's a half wavelength long? ;-)
