Significant amounts of measured data prove otherwise. There is nothing in
the article that supports the conclusions of the article.

Think about what the article claims.

The idea that making an already-too-small radial system SMALLER would
somehow suddenly make it work like a better larger system is silly. It's
like claiming a short coil -loaded antenna has less loss than a full-size
antenna, because current in the halves is more symmetrical when it installed
in a cluttered environment.
