Gary,
Thanks for the clarification. I forgot that when the energy becomes a
detached EM wave, that that magnetic and electric fields become "mutually
causal". So given that, then, is a few more feet of effective height on 40m
as important as increasing radiation efficiency? In other words, if one
could make a heavily top-loaded antenna at the expense of some height, would
it be worth the loss of a few feet?
