It's been my understanding that a simple wire antenna, or vertical

reactive or not.
You tune out the reactance and match the impedance to get maximum power
into the antenna. I'm neglecting phasing and directivity due to to the
antenna length Vs wavelength, but even then the antenna will work just
fine not being resonant.
