[Elecraft] "Random wire" vs Buddystick - myth, bias or luck?

[w4grj]

When explaining low swr vs antenna efficiency I use the example of a dummy
load
perfect swr but not a very good antenna.

As the real resistance grows larger compared with the radiation resistance,
then more of the power is converted to heat in the real resistance rather
than radiated as RF.
