Radiation resistance is four times greater when the antenna has uniform
current.

Reg didn't say "uniform current". He said "uniformly distributed
current". A triangular current wave is uniformly distributed,
i.e. it has a linear taper. Seem to me we need to find out
what Reg meant by "uniformly distributed current". I thought
he meant uniformly triangularly distributed. I think Richard
thought the same thing.
