Mark Keith wrote: More thoughts from the rubber room...Lets say you, Yuri and crew are correct and the current taper is large across the coil. Lets say the coil is still a 1 ft long bugcatcher coil. Lets say the current is fairly constant below the coil. What will the real world effect be of this phenomenon? Roy's measurements vindicated Yuri's prediction. Current in equals 1.0 amp at zero degrees. Measured current out equals 0.95 amps. arc-cos(0.95) = 18 degrees. Yuri's prediction was right on. What else is there to argue about? Even the small toroidal coil functioned exactly as predicted by Yuri. My argument boils down to: What does this mean to the antenna builder or modeler? If any discrepancy is so small to be barely measurable, all this speculation about gross error when modeling is *to me* a load of hooey. Even if the current varies, which BTW, I never claimed would be exactly perfect front to back, it should have so little effect on accuracy to be a non issue. Where is the beef that this claimed variation of current across a coil causes drastic modeling or coil placement calculation errors? Sorry, I just don't see it. What am I missing here? MK |
