NB we are not discussing how to feed the antenna or the pattern.

The topic is current distribution and phase.
You claim a 5/8 coaxial dipole needs some form of phase correction in order to have all radiating currents in phase unless you are missing something. Yes you are.

You claim any dipole longer than 1/4wave per leg has deconstructive currents.
That's incorrect its shorter than 2 x1/2wave

You claim a 2 x 1/2wave dipole has a cloverleaf pattern.
That's incorrect its shorter than 2 x 5/8wave
