Hi Dex,

Let me point you to Paul Nicholson's TSSP site. There have been numerous 
measurements made regarding current distribution, base current 
measurements, etc.  There is a link on the front page to pn2511. Read 
through this document (it's right down your path of interest). This may 
give you a better understanding of what is happening in the background 
of Javatc which is accounting for the distribution along the secondary.

Take care,
Bart
