Only a perfect person never makes an incorrect statement.

I gave an example where that definition applies to a conjugately matched non-resonant antenna. Of course, all conjugately matched antenna *systems* are resonant whether the antenna is a resonant or non-resonant length. Seems that definition has the same flaw as in Reflections, by Walter Maxwell (SK).. Where he said, "My antenna tuner really does tune my antenna", he probably should have said, "My antenna tuner really does tune my antenna system." The definition should IMO also eliminate the word "sharp" from the definition. A resonant 1/2WL dipole does have a peak but it isn't sharp because of the broad bandwidth.
