If those are technical misconceptions, please
let's discuss them. Last time, when I rewrote
my posting to make the meaning clearer, you
agreed with it. Perhaps, this is also another
example of my poor writing style.

Or another mistake on my part. I am more interested in clearing up
the later. As far as what is happening in a loading coil, I am in
general agreement with you and EZNEC. It is only the details of the
discussion of the cause that I am still tripping over.

It may be you or I may have an untied shoe.

In any case, Jim, oops, I mean John, here's the IEEE Dictionary's
definition of current.

"current - The flow of electrons within a wire or a circuit:
measured in ampheres." And no, there is no definition for
"current flow" in the IEEE Dictionary.

"Current flow" and "power flow" are commonly used terms to
signify "charge movement" and "energy movement". Objecting
to the use of the words "current flow" is really picking at
infinitessimal nits.

Current flow is an informal expression that is used by people who only
conversationally acquainted with electricity. That, of course,
doesn't explain why I occasionally slip up and say it.

I am just trying to eliminate as many pick points from your position
as possible, to reduce the side trips into strawman wars.
