Yes. Such antennas include small diameter coils making up solenoids. The
turns act as small stacked loops.

A small loop acts as a short dipole but with its E and H fields
interchanged. See page 58 of the 3rd edition of "Antennas" by Kraus,
Marthefka, et al.

I did not say that. The quote is from somewhere else.
I am sure that he will be happy about the facts that you
have revealed to him as a personal favor and a book
that he can read up for himself what "Normal mode" means
Then explain it to you so you understand what you read
In the mean time I will try loading up a solenoid on 20 M
to see how many people are using them..
