Bob, I don't find this specific claim by Barkley in the OSA article perse, but it sounds like what I have described when I talked about a pigtail connection disrupting the proper construction ratio of coax and causing the cone to radiate antenna mode type currents rather than CMC's like has been suggested.

My old antenna mentor use to always tell me that as soon as you made a pigtail connection, the pigtail started to radiate.
