No. The top of the tee antenna is twice the "left-over" length,
providing a balanced, non-radiating horizontal top load for the 
vertical

SO of the top wires slope downward they can be shorter?  Also, can you 
put an inductor up at the top of the T vert section if you can only 
install a short top horiz wire?
