It will surprise you, perhaps, to learn that there are many thousands of
vertical HF and MF transmitting antennas in operation in the world today
that satisfy none of those conditions, and yet enable effective
communications activities. Some on land and some over water. These
installations are supported by rigorous theory as well as by on-the-air
performance data.

I see that he realises that airborne trailing wire antennas can work
well at HF with just a tube fuselage as a ground reference - miles
away from ground!

This just about completely contradicts his earlier posts about ground
references needing to be in close proximity to the ground for
successful HF work, wouldn't you say?
