I duly note your judgement which appears to be based on the feed impedances
provided. For the record the vertical was modelled
with one end about two feet above the ground (over perfect ground) whereas
the horizontal form was modelled at 820 inches above ground , again over
"perfect ground". I look forward to when the initial 'new' technology
alluded to in this thread is available for full discusion.

This reveals the tower is a significant radiator and a necessary
adjunct for the operation of the antenna. This is an identical
characteristic of CFA's, EH's and fractals.

Unconventional design provides insights to antennas like the
oscillations that I refered to earlier, which is not to be seen on
conventional designs and for which I seek further understanding and
explanation.

I see nothing unconventional at all.
