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

Wheeler worked with Woolsey and I believe they did seminal research on
the risible nature of fractional small wave large antennas when put
into a Skinner box to test stress levels. Fractional small wave large
antennas have the characteristic of being wide banded across a very
small percentage of frequencies with efficient operation in the low
teens to single digits on a length basis per unit charge.
