The mixed-up confusion along this extended thread is due to the
inability of contributors to describe in plain English exactly what
they mean about a relatively simple matter. It's a breeding ground for
baffle-gab, confusing nonsense and old wives.

To avoid wasting more time I respectfully suggest Trabem obtains a big
bunch of capacitors of various values and gets on with the job. We
will all be very interested in the outcome.

Now perhaps we can return to which part of a 1/2-wave dipole does the
most radiating - the middle bit or the ends?
