And also, if the inductively loaded antenna is designed by the "antenna
as transmission line" method (as used by Boyer and ON4UN for example) it
clearly shows that the loading inductance is simply there to cancel the
net capacitive reactance - in other words, it behaves in exactly the
same way as you would in any other circuit.

If that is true, you guys shouldn't have any difficulty proving me wrong
and sending me back to the woodshed once and for all. If the above is not
entirely true, please don't put me under house arrest until I present the
truth as I see it. And certainly, call me on anything that is wrong.

If you will keep listening with an open mind, I think I can show you
that the words, "clearly", "simply", and "exactly", in your above
statement are not entirely correct.

Ian, no one has explained the antenna currents reported by EZNEC at:

http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp/qrzgif35.gif

How can 0.1+ amp of current be 'flowing' into the bottom of the coil
and 0.7+ amp of current be 'flowing' out of the top of the coil. It's
been days now and no one has offered an explanation.
