. . loading coil current . . . is (or is not) equal to what
????????? ".

Please state unambiguously and explicitly what it is you wish to know.

Reg.

Look at the article(s), it refers to current being equal (or not) at both ends
of the loading coil in the antenna elemnt.

In a nutshell, I (and W9UCW, etc.) found that current diminishes accross the
coil. W8JI using Kirchoff and Ohm says it can't.

I am curious if anyone else made measurements (never mind "theory") and what
they found.
