Quoting from Electromagnetism

Formula 11.11

Has in the equation for radiated power the term

(2*PI*L/LAMBDA)**2

where L is the antenna length and LAMBDA the wavelength,
thereby showing that the radiated power decreases when the
antenna length decreases.

I will read up further and report further...

You do that and while you are at it take note of the fact that the
expression you give is unitless and can not be power.

You will also find that the total power radiated by an antenna is the
surface integral of the average Poynting vector over a surface enclosing
the antenna. The surface usually chosen is a sphere in the far field to
keep the equations "simple".

He is taking a portion of the equation and presenting it out of context
assuming that this is a valid way to consider what he wishes to show. I
would like to see the full equation. The devil is in the details.

Actually, there is no "the" equation for the power radiated by an
antenna other than the surface integral of the average Poynting vector
over a surface enclosing the antenna.

There are some approximate rules for specific cases and limiting
conditions, but this isn't one of them.

What he presented is for a 1/2 wavelegth antenna 9.87 and a full wave
antenna 39.48.

WTF is that??
