If 10 watts is delivered to a short antenna, where does it go if it is not
radiated just as well as 10 watts delivered to a long antenna?


How are you going to deliver that 10 watts? By feeding with 100 Watts?


Oops! Is that part of the problem? You never said matching was involved.
Please get your story straight.

Tell us your requirements. Using real wire? What diameter? What
material? What length? Is feeding the antenna part of the problem?

What the hell are you seeking?
