To the broadcaster, "High Efficiency" simply means the same field
strength as a "standard" (typically 90 degree) antenna over the
standard 240 radial system.
And remember that the primary determinant of transmitted field strength
for vertical antennas up to mid-HF is ground loss, in both the near and
far field. An antenna that has a current minima next to the lossy earth
minimizes loss in the very near field, because it's providing it's own
path for return current.
