I agree with you here, because the Patent shows us that the mast can be extended a 1/4 wave above the mount and the antenna will also work. I've modeled this configuration, but I don't remember if it resulted in any differences. If I can find this model I will post it up as well. In looking at this antenna is is very obvious the bottom is some sort of loop and I call it a feeder that happens to radiate in phase with the top and the mast plays a significant part in how the antenna works...I have said before the A/P looks and acts like a big tuner to me.

I'm getting close to the bewitching hour and I don't know what will happen here, but if you don't see me tomorrow...you will know the devil got me.
