The mk1 q82 had a longer monopole @ about 28' 2", its not .82wave,

when you sweep the radials up towards the monopole it raises resonant frequency/ electrically shortens the monopole,

The q82 mk1 is about 4" longer than a 3/4wave new vector 4000,
& its got fatter radials raising its resonant frequency more than the skinny vector radials,

its electrically closer to 3/4wave imho.
