Kraus' phase-reversing coils work the way he says they do.
A high impedance trap blocks current if it is looking into
a low impedance because it is a high impedance. But if it
is looking into a high impedance, like a 1/2WL element, it
simply reverses the phase of the current, like a quarter-wave
shorted series stub. Would you like me to send you the EZNEC
files that demonstrate the phase reversal using stubs or
multiple sources?

Better yet, Cecil, show me a mathematical analysis. It doesn't have to
be rigorous - you can wave your hands if you want to - but it does have
to make sense. Ah, how wonderfully easy it would be if only your ideas were
true.
