I looked at your picture and from what I think I see I believe the top loading 
coli will most likely act like a trap thus you will most likely not have an 1/2 
wave electrical antenna. I would expect the electrical length to be close to 
the physical length of the vertical BELOW the top loading coil. This is a good 
thing because this a real pain to try and match a 1/2 wave vertical.
