For material taken from that site, the spelling is generally an
indicator of the quality of reporting:
... considerable gain and this is consentrated almost parallel to ground ...

Leaving aside the spelling, the real nonsense is "considerable gain". It
looks very like a J-pole, and has a very similar radiation pattern and
gain.

It is simply a J-Pole, with what the medicos would call "a redundant
prepuce."
