Richard Clark is among other things an expert in measurements. Others
may find other points of interest in things which don`t intrest Richard.

For me, a simple go or no-go scale may be good enough. Regardless of
precision, the ultimate decision often must boil doewn to a simple yes
or no.

If my recollection is right, Yuri presented a photo of a loading coil in
action which had functioning r-f thermoammeters, one at each coil end.
Their readings were significantly different. This may not be conclusive,
but were I to see it often in various applications, I`d likely be
persuaded that currents are likely different at opposite ends of an
antenna loading coil sited in the middle of an antenna conductor.
