don't have the answer to the original question:

Is the current the same at both ends of a mobile whip's loading coil?

No, it isn't, provided it's a solenoidal coil of reasonable length. I
don't think anyone disagrees with this. The disagreements are to why,
and what would happen to the current if the coil were made very short.
