Another huh?
Appearance of resonance? (What is that?)
Doesn't efficiency have to do with losses and bandwidth with Q of the antenna 
(or tuned circuit)?
So the tuned circuit can't be resonant, or tuned circuit with some antenna 
wire attached to it can't be resonant? Appears to be resonant? Like half 
pregnant?

Yuri, K3BU/m
with "appearancy resonant" whips?
