Jazz, you picked the Merlin base antenna I was thinking about in my post. Booty, you came up with the mobile version I had completely forgotten about. I haven't seen a Goldenrod 45 since it had a much smaller top loading coil many years ago. I guess the power increases over the years mandated that beefier coil. In either case, you never combine inductive reactance and capacitive reactance at virtually the same point on the radiator.
