Default QUESTION - Does a "Non-Resonant" Dipole Antenna work better {Benefit} when a Receiver is RF Grounded in the Shack ? ? ?

Telamon,

At least according to my reads over the years.
Amateurs have been hooking-up their Dipole
Antennas this way for decades using an ATU.

The Twin (2) feed-in-lines would effective make them
a thicker single conductor.

Assuming that the Twin (2) feed-in-line are mostly Vertical
and the Splight Top Wires (2) are mostly Horizontal

Then what you got is . . . {Marconi}
A Moderate Size Vertical Antenna with a Big Top Hat.
[ Gee isn't that what David Said ? ]
