both designs exhibit BETTER gain figures at a TOA of 10 degrees than a full
sized dipole held at a comparable height. However,
having said that, sans actual response levels or context, is having
said nothing.

If you neglect giving us response levels, or context (like height,
length, frequency, ground conditions) then telling us you have a great
10 degree TOA is meaningless.

More to the matter of the thread, it you cannot tell us antenna
location and that location of the intended DX, and the height of the
skip layer, then a great 10 degree TOA could easily be useless.

If this is simply about bragging rights that knowing the DX location
is inconsequential because you will hit somebody, that could as easily
be said about a great 20 degree TOA antenna which makes the great 10
degree TOA antenna another face in the crowd.
