Here's a helpful hint on the (ohmic) loss: what is the power rating of the
resistor (and is it wirewound?) and what is the rated input power at the feed?

Obviously there are multiple current maxima at the high end of HF That would
seem to count for something:-)

Graph the mismatch loss vs ohmic loss over the entire passband, then plot the
peak gain compared to a (dipole of the same total height)--and then tell us
this antenna doesn't work:-)

Key question: what problem was this antenna solving? I bet that a 110 ft
inverted V--unterminated and ungrounded --was far worse in solving the problem
as posed.
