No, that's not the question at all. You have diverted the issue from
current through the coil to efficiency. The question is whether the
current at each end of a real-world loading coil is the same or not
the same. Efficiency is irrelevant.

Diverting the issue is an obvious tactic employed by someone who is
losing the argument.

If one doesn't understand standing waves on a transmission line, one
cannot understand standing-wave antennas. The ignorance of how standing-
wave antennas work is the basic problem. I am attempting to alleviate
that ignorance.

Cecil, I'll believe you know something about loading coils when you
go back to school and learn something about basic classical
electromagnetic theory. As it stands, all you can do is make one
unsupported statement after another and hope someone is gullible
enough to believe you.
