A quick look at the model says that the required loading inductance is
approximately 6.8 mH, if the overall antenna height is 30 feet and the top
hat radius is 4 feet. I assumed four 1-inch radials and a single #8 skirt
wire around the ends. Actual wire size, or the addition of inner wires to
the top hat, will not have a large effect on the capacitance.
