I still dont understand the objective.

Since the foundation of other's measurements was
the use of standing wave current phase to prove the
percentage of a wavelength occupied by a loading
coil is zero, my objective was simple: To prove
that the standing wave current, with its unchanging
phase, cannot be used to make a valid measurement
of the percentage of a wavelength occupied by a loading
coil.

I proved that using the standing wave current phase to
measure the percentage of a wavelength occupied by a
wire or a whip also yields an answer of zero. If the
coil plus the whip both occupy a percentage of a
wavelength equal to zero, all sorts of laws of physics
are violated. Not to mention a full length 1/2WL wire
dipole occupying a percentage of a wavelength equal
to zero.
