I have not stated that an unloaded broadcast monopole of any physical height
should be made self-resonant, or even needs to be, for efficient radiation.
Very few broadcast monopoles are. The ones that aren't are matched to
resonance and the transmission line Zo by a network at the antenna
feedpoint, as I also stated.

What I wrote is that a radiator of "90 electrical degrees" when shown in the
FCC database is NOT self-resonant, and referred to the experimental data
from George Brown, and the work of Johnson & Jasik to confirm what I wrote.
Kraus, 3rd edition, Ch 14 has the mathematical analysis to support this,
also. NEC shows this effect, as well.

The rest of the examples in your post are based on your invalid assumption,
for which my response is given above.
