Makes sense to me, Jim except in the context of any RF current that could
exist on the outside of the coaxial interconnect cable (e.g., between rig
and amp) which when using the audio demonstration at 10 kHz or even 100 kHz
may not show up well in current sensor tests. It seems to me that any RF
current not contained within the inner conductor of the outer shield could
still divide across multiple paths as in the low frequency/DC context you
discussed. No?
