Bob,
It all depends on how good your ground system is. If it is
perfect (not really possible unless you are over salt
water) the difference between a high Q coil and top
loading (assymetrical or not) will be small (.2 - .4 dB).
If your ground system is average (10 - 15 ohms), the
difference can be big -- several dB-s! So if you can add
top loading, do it. Don't worry about it being
assymetrical: the high angle radiation will be a small
percentage of the overall energy radiated (better then
burning it in the ground, anyway).
