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?


Make it 100 Watts, make it 1000 Watts,

Transmit for 5 minutes, then switch off and measure temperature.

Is the short antenna hotter?

No.

The matching network might heat up, but the matching network doesn't have to
be at the antenna, and is not part of the original theoretical assertion.
