Am I missing something here?
The enjoyment of such an "impossibility?"

Hi Ken,

The how you are asking for could go by any number of explanations, and
each may sound as plausible as help from Extra Terrestrials. One way
to look at your antenna description (especially with the up front
declaration of no choking) is that you have a top loaded, tuned T
antenna (vertical instead of horizontal) planted in the highest
conductive soil in the U.S.

One could only wonder if you couldn't accomplish what you did.
