Of course I did. "Through the coil" does NOT mean "through
the coil wire". It means "through the coil". You still uttered
a falsehood but I doubt that you will ever admit it.

Cecil,

You got me. I omitted the word "wire".

Of course your time delay "impossibility" complaint makes absolutely no
sense at all if you accept that W8JI was not talking about a wave
traveling through 50 feet of wire in 3 ns. He was talking about a wave
traveling 10 inches in 3 ns. I mistakenly assumed that no one in this
discussion even remotely considered superluminal wave propagation.

Please accept my humble apology for an utter lack of fine craftsmanship
in word games.

In that case, I apologize for jumping on you. The VF of
the coil is approximately double what it would be if
the current followed the wire. That's because of the
inter-winding interaction. But the magnetic fields
from coil#1 do not magically jump 10 inches to coil#100
as W8JI implies they do. His measurements are off by
a magnitude because he used standing-wave current for
his measurements. I suspect he actually measured less
than 3 ns "delay" but knew he couldn't afford to post
a faster-than-light measurement.
