While I was considering all this information, I was on the watch for the edit done a month ago by anonymous.

In the gist of it all, I took away that the cone was nothing more than a tuning device that also helps block the out of phase currents for a 3/4 wave radiator that ill-effected the pattern by distortion due to horizontal radials, and worked just like a J-pole, but did it a little better. The big advantage is the extra height gained by raising the current maximum up higher than other shorter wavelength antennas.

Thanks.
