Default The capacity hat?

In rec.radio.amateur.antenna gareth wrote:
In the textbooks, a capacity hat is shown as having a capacity down
to ground (in the case of a marconi antenna), but if you do the calculations
based on the physical dimensions, the resulting capacitance is so small
as to be meaningless.


Then obviously that is not the way to calculate the effect.
