For thought and discussion, below is a NEC4.2 analysis of the AM transmit system described there. The remote ATU is located at the upper end of the 25-ft coaxial cable, at the feedpoint.
The red lines along the conductors of that system show the relative distribution of r-f current along those conductors.
All of those conductors carrying r-f current and located above the surface of the earth are active parts of the radiating antenna system.

Opinion has been expressed concerning both sides of the discussion.
However the analysis contained in this post is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of Physics.
