Iakobos,

It certainly receives......But what about the whole family of travelling wave antennas? Log periodics (which you can argue use multiple resonances, although I'm not sure about the Green's equation boundary conditions), terminated rhombics and Vee beams, even Discones? Slots are another case, too - not sure how widely used these are on aeroplanes at HF these days.

Getting a bit academic for this fora.......

One problem is definitely that things you'd like to do for antenna efficiency on aircraft don't always sit well with either aerodynamics or structural requirements.
