Good day L.B.,
Thanks for that point. I worked through a little theory to
verify it, and I don't see why it applieds only near
resonance. It isn't a correction for the reactance
component, but it should still work for radiation
resistance.
Given that the corrected value from NEC2 is 5.21, the next
question is why is it so much lower than any value implied
by the nearly uniform radiating current? I set up and
numerically evaluated the integral for a finite-length
uniform current and it's less than 1 % lower for
L/lambda=0.1 than the 80*(pi*L/lambda)^2 formula.
Regards,
Doug Miron
