I can think back 40 years and these antennas come and go.
Usually the designers concentrate on something that is not
even an issue and make all kinds of wild claims based on
fixing a non-problem.
Antennas radiate by amperes distributed over in-line length.
A ten foot vertical is a ten foot vertical. A two foot long
dipole is a two foot long dipole. Doesn't matter how much
conductor surface you pack in that area, or much it looks
like something from space.
