Has anyone actually modeled a Cob Web antenna?

Most of the stuff I find on the web - says - I got a good match it therefore it 
is a great antenna.

I was wondering how it compares to a dipole.


Electrically, it is basically a "short dipole with capacitive end loading" not a whole lot different than the driven element of a Moxon.

It's going to be narrower band than a full sized dipole.
