Cecil,

Do you believe that a 75m mobile antenna system using an artificially
resonant (as in bugcatcher-loaded), electrically short whip produces the
same elevation pattern and groundwave field strength at 1 km as an unloaded
1/4-wave vertical monopole for 75m with the same applied power using a good,
buried radial r-f ground (say, 2 ohms or less)?
