Ok, this is a long shot, but seeing DoctorAudio made me think of an old friend. His name is Lee and called himself DocAudio. Would your name be Lee?

I have always used a LC (inductor/capacitor parallel) matching network for half wave monoband antennas.
I am thinking you want to make this antennaFor a monoband 1/2 wave antenna both a capacitor and an inductor.
That design here is commonly called a station master.
Possibly not the most efficient of radiators but seems to hold up well in our windy conditions.
Appreciate any thoughts and advice you may have on the subject.
