needlebender, I know you're trying to say something here, but it eludes me what it is.
The post quoted makes no sense:

Everyone knows a folded dipole if unfolded will be physically 1/2 wave, but folded back on itself it is not. It is a fat 1/4 wave radiator. In the context of unfolding the radials of a 1/2 wave center fed antenna the idea it is a 3/4 wave because you physically unfold a side of it just doesn't calculate. . .
