Oh I see those shiny loading coils must really increase the gain of

the
antenna huh.

I never explained why one antenna outperforms another. I just posted
the numbers. You can draw your own explanation.



Oh sure I supose the 31" S- METER really proves the accuracy of the
test better than using Smith charts LOL.


Why yes it does. It uses a actual voltage in a actual receiver to give
the best representation of a actual antenna in a actual situation.

A smith chart CAN NOT compare real antennas in this type of hair
splitting detail. A all parameter inclusive 31" S-meter can.

It is important to note that the S-meter need not be accurate. It just
needs to be consistent enough to give higher or lower readings.
It accomplishes this and gives a accurate gain order ranking of the
antennas tested.
