A point that many miss, especially Hams without a lot of technical training,
is this; the narrower the bandwidth (the smaller the frequency excursion
before retuning) the more efficient the physically small antenna is. So with
an antenna appreciably smaller than 1/2 wavelength, a very narrow bandwidth
is something to celebrate!
The only way to increase the inherent bandwidth of a physically small
antenna is to increase the resistive losses where RF is wasted as heat.
Ever since Maxwell set down his equations unifying electricity and magnetism
in 1865, those equations have been proven correct.
