We know that a monopole has half the resistance of a dipole. Example: 73
ohms and 36.5 ohms. 790 / 2 = 395. That`s not a resistance, it is only
the value of a constant which must be multiplied by (L/lambda) squared
to give the radiation resistance of a very short monopole.

Does it matter that for a vertical that is 1/2 of the length
of the dipole, (L/lamda)^2 is different by a factor of 4?
