This article is comparing loaded antennas to other loaded antennas. It does not compare the loaded antenna to the unloaded. The first paragraph seems to refer to a base loaded 1/4 wave since the second paragraph suggests it's performance can be improved by moving the coil higher or adding a capacitance hat. Neither one of these actions can increase the performance of the unloaded 1/4 wave or make the loaded antenna equal to or greater then the unloaded antenna.

[QUOTE="Shockwave, post: 265399, member: 10882"] This article is comparing loaded antennas to other loaded antennas. It does not compare the loaded antenna to the unloaded. The first paragraph seems to refer to a base loaded 1/4 wave since the second paragraph suggests it's performance can be improved by moving the coil higher or adding a capacitance hat. Neither one of these actions can increase the performance of the unloaded 1/4 wave or make the loaded antenna equal to or greater then the unloaded antenna. [/QUOTE]
