So doc, how did you get on radiation patterns from what was said?  I certainly didn't bring it up and never assumed a shortened half wave would have a radiation pattern of anything other than an antenna with whatever that physical length happened to be.  The thought I had has nothing to do with attempting to change the radiation pattern of a shortened antenna.  I myself have said on this and other forums on multiple occasion just what you said here.  You apparently completely missed where I was going with what was said.


Are you reading what others have said in the past into what I am saying?  Wow, that is risky.  I say what I mean and mean what I say, or go out of my way to try to at least.  If I don't bring up something like, say, radiation patterns of  a shortened antenna as an example, then what I am referring to has nothing to do with radiation patterns of a shortened antenna, at least not in my mind.
