Sounds good, John and Charles,

The modeling with L network is intuitively what I would expect.  You have
reduced L and its attendant losses, by substituting the less L with a C
which should have inherently lower losses.  L networks are great and
forgotten by hams.

The modeling of small dipoles should be in past issues of "Antennas and
Propagation" of IEEE, which college of engineering libraries often carry
back issues of.  We are doing similar work with our Folded Conical Helical
antennas developed by Dr. Robert Rogers, an on going project here.  Similar
concerns to the EH, and other antennas such as the Bilal Isotron.

Some of the small antennas work also parallels work Sevick did on short
verticals some years ago in QST etc.
