Another antenna curiosity

I like antennas that are short-circuited DC-wise. Mainly because, at one
time I had a radio on a vertical and lightning struck about a mile away
and blocked my receiver for several seconds. Of course, not all radios
have a floating input, but, it impressed me.

So, I "invented" the folded unipole which would match to a 50 ohm feed.

Any interest?
