Nope. As I said in my post "...(though this section does not have to
be vertical, it's just convenient in many cases).

By the way, the matching section for the proposed vertical antenna
doesn't have to vertical, does it? Can't it be run horizontally
and the overall height reduced from about 50 ft to about 33 ft?
As mentioned a L network with an inductor and capacitor would also
work instead.
