In order to show that an inductor can
be treated as a transmission line, in the way you want to do it, you
have to show that your inductor has an exponential current gradient
along its length when it's terminated in a certain impedance.

All I have to do is point to W7EL's and W8JI's measurements that
show a current gradient along a real world loading coil in a standing-
wave antenna. The current gradient is illustrated by Kraus on page
824 of _Antennas_For_All_Applications_, 3rd edition.

You are failing to take into account that the net current in a standing-
wave antenna is the phasor sum of the forward current and reflected
current, i.e. the earth is not flat.
