What's the best reference source I can use for designing loads in UHF
antenna elements? (To make physically shortened elements electrically
full-size.) For example, 200 ohms reactive at 500 MHz with Q 75-100?
Thanks.

Just curious, George! Because antennas at that frequency are relatively
small to begin with, I've never considered loading anything like that. I'm curious
as to why you would want to -- there must be a good reason, isn't there?
