   I don't think anyone here thinks you can feed a 10 k Ohm antenna from a
50-75 Ohm transmitter, without going through a impedance matching network
of some kind.  Which we have all tried to educate you about.  You are the
only one on this list that hasn't figured out end feeding a half wave element
from a extremely high impedance source through one connection, WITHOUT a
resonant or near resonant counterpoise, does work.
There are too many examples of them in use everywhere.  Reread the posts
on the subject carefully, and you will see the light.
