Fine. Then this thread is closed.

I apologize, Wes. After closer inspection, I have to disagree
with myself. Imax is the reference zero degree point for the
"cosine rule". If that point occurs inside the loading coil,
then the number of degrees occupied by the loading coil becomes
ArcCos(Iin/Imax) + ArcCos(Iout/Imax) This helps to resolve the
problem I was having with ArcCos(Iout/Iin). If, as you say, the
current maximum point occurs inside the coil, then the forward
current and reflected current are in-phase inside the coil and
the coil occupies much more of the antenna than ArcCos(Iout/Imax)
I do believe a "Thank you very much" is in order. For your antenna,
the calculated degrees that the coil occupies is within 1.5 degrees
of the estimated degrees.
