Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

John Popelish wrote:
If you don't believe me, simulate it with EZNEC. Connect a source to a
parallel combination of C and R. Record the phase of the current with
respect to the voltage (the current will lead). Then add a series
inductance that cancels the capacitance, and the current will be delayed
till it matches the phase of the applied voltage. Power factor corrected.


The "current will be delayed"? That cannot be, according to
W8JI and W7EL. They say there is no more delay through a 6"
coil than through a 6" wire. That's what the argument is all
about. Instead of the current being delayed, their voltage
jumps ahead in time at greater than the speed of light in
order to correct that power factor.
