Not even works better.

This is an old debate, long settled.  There are many web sites with 
discussions, books, articles, etc -- some quite erudite.  Frankly I do 
not have time nor energy to rehash it.   Perhaps someone else has the 
motivation.  Or you can use antenna and transmission line analyses and 
come to your own conclusions -- as I did once many years ago.

In fact the xyl wants me to get off the computer and go hiking NOW  :-)
