Which end of the coil is the input and which end is the output?

The DC model strikes again.

A poor craftsman always blames his tools.

But by convention the 'input' of the coil is the end closest to
the antenna feedpoint.

And so what you're saying is that by convention RF current flows "in" to
one end, and then "out" of the other?

I must admit I don't like the sound of that one bit. Sounds like you're
describing the direction a "wave" is "traveling", when we know that the
"wave" is really just "standing" there. :-)
