Yes, and a fixed dipole doesn't have much gain off the ends compared
to a broadsided rotatable dipole. EZNEC says the maximum gain of my
dipole off the ends is "MAX GAIN = 0.88 dBi". I am extremely pleased
with my rotatable dipole. So much so that another element is just
not worth that extra half an S-unit.
