You are probably correct if you are speaking about "small" antennas as
they relate to HF.

No longer is there that much demand for shortwave bands to communicate
with, as you well know. This is the information age and the relative
bandwidth of HF is so small is to render HF useless, even for simple
email if widespread usage were desired. There's not much money in it.

No money, no research.

Even if you had a shoebox 160m antenna that worked, your market would
quickly reach saturation point. You might get an enthusiastic
reception by the readers of CQ magazine or be honored by the folks at
ARRL but not much more. Is that why you are trying to link your
antenna "discoveries" to finding the holy grail of the Grand
Unification Theory?
