....Yuri will have to vent their frustrations
without me.
Roy Lewallen, W7EL

OK, we tried to have discussion about the current in loading coils, you
defended W8JI position, who used EZNEC model of coil with zero physical length
and "proved" that current is the same at both ends. You supported him by doing
"experiment" with toroid at the bottom of antenna and writing page about how
Yuri and Cecil are wrong.
We pointed out the fallacies in the way EZNEC models the coil, examples were
given how to get around using hairpin or coil modeled as a "helix" by breaking
turns into segments. Now this is incorporated in EZNEC 4.08 and surprise,
surprise - it reflects the current distribution properly, showing that there is
a difference of current in the loading coils as observed by me, measured by
W9UCW, explained by W5DXP and KB5WZI. I thanked you for implementing this
feature and pointed out another possible improvement in way the L is entered.
The result? W8JI still keeps the crap on his web site, your letter is included
there. Did we get thanks of heaven forbid apology? (You got better version,
made extra bucks as result of us being "stupid") Not that I care or want to
vent frustration. I mentioned before, I do ham radio as a hobby, when I see
crap I try to point it out for the benefit of others.
I was going to do an article, but fortunately I have a life besides radio, had
more pressing problems and this had to wait. I hope to do it soon, with some
examples using EZNEC.
I wish there was more attitude here trying to discuss the problems rather than
smart alec snotty attitude by some brother hams. If you screwed up or are
wrong, admit it, learn, give credit where is due and we will all benefit.
Nobody is perfect. But ridiculing or dumping on someone, because you (whoever)
is "superior" and you "know" better, just makes that egg in the face look more
yellow.

Thank you and good night!
