Or to most amateurs, a perfect 1:1 VSWR.

So there you have it - a parallel LC circuit that has a 1:1 VSWR all 
over the band. I don't know what values you used for L and C, but it 
does not matter - the result remains the same, as long as R=sqrt(L/C).

Now given the equivalent circuit of dipoles are reactances in series 
with resistors, could this be exploited in any way?  Perhaps making one 
arm a dipole resonate above the highest frequency of interest and the 
other arm a dipole resonate below the lowest frequency of interest. As 
the frequency changes, so the reactance of one will become more 
inductive, whereas the other will become more capacitive. Could these be 
arranged to make a system that stays close to resonance? I'm 95% sure 
you could force it to have two resonate frequencies, with some degree of 
compensation in between those frequencies.

Merry Chrismas everyone.
