Can we describe "pieces" or segments of the radiator as having proportional
amount of degrees corresponding to their physical length, when excited with
particular frequency?

If I can be enlightened about this, we can go then to the next step.

Hi Yuri,

At your page you assert:
"The current in a typical loading coil in the shortened antennas
drops across the coil roughly corresponding to the segment of the
radiator it replaces. "
so I must presume this is part and parcel to your question above and
the coil is part of that proportionality where all segments combine to
90°.

On the other hand, Cecil is only willing to allow:

+/- 50% accuracy.

Now, given that you might describe a radiator whose vertical sections
add to 30°, then it follows from your page's assertion that the coil
must represent 60°. Cecil, again, would give pause and restrict that
to some value between 30° and (oddly enough) 90°. The total structure
then represents a 60° to 120° electrically high verticle.

The long and short of this (a pun) is that Cecil has argued you into a
rhetorical corner where it is highly unlikely that the whole shebang
is ever 90° long - by parts that is. Or as a Hail Mary argument, you
could simply assert that the range encompasses the right value for
your assertion above, but then anyone could use the same logic to say
all loaded antennas are only 70° electrically tall and another could
boast 110° and you couldn't dispute them. (Yes, you could, of
course, this is a newsgroup afterall.)

Perhaps you would like to argue this for yourself (I don't pay much
attention to Cecil anyway as this +/- 50% slop factor accounts for).
