As another example, the resonant Q of a half-wave dipole is -

Q = Omega * Ld / Rd

or

The reactance of its DISTRIBUTED inductance divided by its DISTRIBUTED
radiation resistance.

Perfectionists may DIRECTLY add conductor resistance to the radiation
resistance because that, too, is a DISTRIBUTED quantity.
