Again how foolish you are. There are many radiators that have
reflectors that are way below the GIGA Hz level. You are basing your

Heck! There are many helix antennas in use that have reflectors that
are used in the Mega Hz range. There is absolutely no good reason why
a antenna for top band must have a reflector a kilometer in diameter
if the antenna itself replicates a point source.
I think you have shown everybody the extent of your limitations with
respect to antennas!

And you just might want to look up the definition of "axial mode".
