ok - this has nothing to do with the relative merits of the antenna,
but gee whiz - that web site has one heck of a description....

The relative merits of the antenna are very clear . . . "Finding space
enough to accommodate 67 feet of wire" . . .


"It is a center loaded antenna with a loading coil at the center."

DUHHHH.....

You can't have a center loaded antenna 'without' a loading coil in the
center?

DUH?


Then there's the bit about connecting the coax shield to the center
of the coil and connecting the coax center conductor two or three
turns away, AND THE ILLUSTRATION SHOWS JUST THE OPPOSITE!

And your point?

Unless you have something constructive. Point us to the articles you
have written . . .
