If you would just look at my simple stub example, you would
understand where those missing degrees are. They are at the
coil to stinger junction and may represent more than half
the degrees in the antenna. The coil represents a good portion
of the rest of the degrees. The stinger is usually about 11
degrees long.

I don't understand. At the junction between the two?

Does this mean that an extremely short antenna could be built that
consisted of several small coils, and lots of junctions?

typical bad ascii art:
