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.

How do you calculate antenna gain with a smith chart?

How about a polar plot then. Or do you think a 31" S-METER is the
definitive measurement? LOLLOLOLOL

Sure a polar plot would be fine, plot a 8' stainless antenna and a 5'
copper antenna and post the results.
