[TowerTalk] Change in Frequency As Antenna Height Rises

Interesting. I trust antenna modeling but I wonder why linear loading is
less influenced by the ground.  I also wonder if coil loaded elements
react the same.

100% length (69.79 ft), no loading, +218 KHz change from 30 ft to 60 ft.
85% length (55.93 ft), 3.297 uH coils, +137 KHz change from 30 ft to 60 ft.
70% length (46.06 ft), 6.721 uH coils, +78 KHz change from 30 ft to 60 ft.

So it seems that more loading results in less change in resonant frequency as
the height above ground is varied.
