This is not correct.

At 14.32 MHz a certain dipole accepts 159.2w from a 100v source into a resonant 62.8 ohm feedpoint impedance. At 14.25 MHz, it accepts 160.2w from a 100v source into a non-resonant 61.9-j6 ohm feedpoint impedance. So it appears that you are technically correct but maybe splitting hairs.
