If you'd like to experiment with the lumped inductance design you might want
to try K7MEM's great Web site. He has a variety of on-line calculators
available. Amongst them is a neat page that allows you to input variables
for the dipole and calculate the required inductance and dimensions for each
side of the antenna based on coil position. It also includes several ways to
generate the details on winding the coil itself based on diameter, L/D ratio
etc. There are also many other useful calculators.
His page is: http://www.k7mem.com/
Look under Antennas on the left side and then "Short Dipole" for your
specific question.
