Eddie you can't disregard magnitude for current maxima, by the very nature of it being maxima it only occurs at points where the current is maximum.

it has one current maxima (1/4 wave from the top) and another point where current is halfway to maximum (at the top of the loading coil)

it would need to be 3/4 wave to have 2 current maxima's as current maxima occurs 1/4 wave from the top and then every halfwave along the radiator from that point.
