There is a subject named "a short 160m antenna - loading and hats".
Simulation results were presented for a 0.029lambda long radiator over
REAL ground.
The only reason I gave a reaction was to avoid that other people might
get a wrong idea. The statements on the loading coil are very likely
valid, but the gain figures are far from reality considering the
conditions stated.
I never concidered the gain figures to have any particular importance.
The whole point was the effects of loading on impedance.
I should have done the whole thing in free space to avoid confusing things
with ground issues.
This is fully clear now, but it took several posts from my side, and
replies from your side of course, before you changed the conditions.
We all aren't perfect and we may (sometimes) provide incomplete, or
even wrong replies. If this happens nothing is wrong, someone will
correct us, or provide the additional information.
If someone starts insulting, why we can't make sure that contributions
remain constructive and that
