How does a Flowerpot Antenna work?

Is it a centre fed dipole? An end fed dipole? A quarter wave ground plane? I’ve made videos about these aerials in the past. However, to explain how this aerial works, I’ve put some clips together to create a single video. Hopefully, this will make the operation of this antenna easier to grasp. Check the links at the bottom of this page for a dimension calculator and a very interesting article about coax and the flower pot antenna.
