Richard Clark mentioned that some people claim a 12 dB difference between
lumped element and distributed loading.

Ask him to please produce the posting. A 100% difference between
lumped element and distributed loading wouldn't produce much of
a difference in the radiation pattern. Sorry Reg, most of the
radiation happens below the coil, whether lumped or distributed.
