It doesn`t make a ratio different than two to one in the ratio of
resistances of the 1/2-wave dipole to the 1/4-wave monopole. We are not
comparing a monopole that is the the length of a dipole with the dipole.
We are comparing a monopole that is 1//2 the length of a dipole to the
dipole when we make the resistance ratio.

Richard, Balanis doesn't say that the 'L' in the monopole
formula is 1/2 the 'L' in the dipole formula. Does Kraus?
