Yuri's technical jargon is little more than pathetic.

There doesn't need to be a current drop through a coil for the
total current to be different at each end. Assume a base-loaded
mobile system. Assume the forward current through the coil is
constant at 1.1 amp. Assume the reflected current through the coil
is constant at 1.0 amp. Assume the phase shift through the coil is
45 degrees.

If the forward current and reflected current are in phase at the
base of the coil (feedpoint) the total current will be

1.1+1.0 = 2.1 amps of total current at the base of the coil.

The total current at the top of the coil will be

1.1 amps at -45 degrees superposed with 1.0 amps at +45 degrees.

1.1*cos(-45) + 1.0*cos(45) = 1.48 amps.

The coil is lossless and the component currents are absolutely
constant through the coil yet the superposed total current at
the top of the coil is only about 71% of the superposed total
current at the bottom of the coil. No "technical jargon" involved.

Using circuit analysis on a distributed network problem simply
demonstrates ignorance of the problem. It's an easy mistake to
make and a hard mistake to admit.
