EZNEC seems to model inductive stubs just fine so I have no reason to
distrust it. EZNEC fails to give the same results for an inductive stub
Vs a lumped inductive reactance because it doesn't model real-world
coils. It will not model Kraus' phase-reversing coil and gives erroneous
results when an antenna using phase-reversing coils is modeled. I have
the EZNEC files that demonstrate that fact if you would like to have them.
Cecil, you can't even give a coherent explanation of how or why Kraus
"phase reversing coil" works, or how it relates to Wes' work. I would
expect any coil would work between two half-wave dipoles, but maybe not
at the frequencies you expect, and certainly not just because Kraus
said so.
