These are very different and one must be absolutely clear with
what Wheeler is dealing with.
My guess is that he is refering to fractional wave antennas
which is very common in the communication field

hi Arthru,

But even more meaningful, are you speaking of large FRACTIONAL wave
antennas, or small WAVE full antennas? My guess is probably both
which is common in your communication.

Wheeler is known for his work on small electricaly or fractional
wavelength antennas.
I was enquiring if the referred paper on limits were of small
electrical or fractional
wavelength antennas or has he broardened out to include small full
wave antennas.
Big difference

The big difference I refer to is that a fractional wavelength antenna
has limits on the
"Q" factor where a full wave antenna does not have any limits on ":Q"
since bandwidth is unlimited.
Obviously Chu,Wheeler and others are refering to fractional wavelength
antennas.
where my interest is small full wave antennas.
Frankly I feel that Chu and others are in error by pursuing the
integration of a small electrical
wave antenna in a closed arbitary border when Maxwells law,s requires
equilibrium within
the enclosed borders.
