Hey Jim,
As a young kid, wanting to be a ham, I would study
the various ARRL Antenna books (different editions)
about the DZZ antenna, often the W3DZZ, or 3DZZ ...
Here's an APA type cite that might be a start for
what you seek?
Paget, L. (2006). Antenna Workshop-Len Paget GM0ONX explores the W3DZZ and says
that it's a trapped multi-band antenna that shouldn't be discounted. Practical
Wireless, 82(4), 32-35.
And another link (not APA or peer reviewed that provides
a bit more information on W3DZZ himself ... note the link
to a tribute by W8SU with specific details of interest?

Hope this helps!
