Hey Eddie, not the best time for me right now due to the stress of house shopping, bidding, countering, inspections, sleeping in noisy hotels, etc., but..

It appears the capacitor not only helps to isolate the upper half of the antenna from undesirable high voltage contact but realigns the phase to compare favorably with the Gain Master in current distribution.

With appropriate counterpoise or decoupling (or BOTH) I expect it might continue to outperform metal 5/8 antennas as I've seen it do mine.
