Thank you Cecil,
That's all I was looking for.

You're welcome and I agree with 95% of what W8JI says.
(For instance, he is mistaken about the delay through
a 100T, 10TPI, 2" diameter 75m loading coil.)

Some may or may not understand why random folding
of antenna radiators tends to change the radiating
conductors into non-radiating conductors. (The same
effect is at work in loading coils.)

Any relation to the loosely wrapped "coils" of shortened verticals like
bug catchers?
